Troppo rolls

Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan forced and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Cook bacon batons in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until crisp. Drain. Cool.

In a bowl, combine plain flour, salt and bicarb. Add 200g of the bacon, vintage cheddar and coarsely chopped canned pineapple. Stir. Make a well in centre. Add buttermilk. Stir until dough comes together.

Knead on a floured surface for 1-2 minutes or until smooth. Shape into 12 balls. Place on lined tray, just touching. Score top of each ball with a cross. Brush top with buttermilk.

Finely chop remaining bacon. Sprinkle balls with bacon, 1/4 cup finely chopped pineapple and 1/4 cup grated cheddar. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until rolls sound hollow when tapped.
