Preheat the oven to No 8/450F/230C.

Sieve the flour into a bowl and warm in the oven for a couple of minutes.

Cream the yeast and sugar together in a small bowl and add a quarter of the liquids.

Mix well.

Make a well in the center of the flour and add the dissolved yeast.

Sprinkle some of the flour on top and cover with a clean cloth.

Leave in a warm place until the yeast ferments and bubbles appear.

Warm the remaining liquid and mix in.

Now add the margarine and salt then knead firmly until smooth and not sticky.

Return to the basin, cover and leave to double in size (proving the dough).

Knock back the dough and divide into eight pieces.

Mould into your desired shapes and place on a floured baking sheet.

Cover and leave to prove again.

Brush with the egg and bake for about 10 minutes.
