Follow the instructions on the wholemeal bread mix to make 8-12 bread rolls, allowing the dough to prove as per the mix instructions

500g of wholemeal bread mix

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Season and cook the chicken breasts under the grill until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and allow to cool

4 chicken breasts
1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of pepper

Once cool, shred or slice the chicken into thin strips. Use the large side of a grater to prepare strips of cucumber and apple

1 cucumber
2 red apples

Add the strips of chicken, cucumber and apple to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, set aside

1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of pepper
40ml of olive oil

To make a hedgehog, roll the bread into the shape of a hedgehog and use two small bits of dough to create eyes. Cut spikes using a pair of scissors

To create a mouse, mould the dough into a mouse shape and use a little piece of the dough to create the eyes. Cut two ears using a pair of scissors

Heat the oven to 200˚C/gas mark 6 and cook the rolls for 10–15 minutes or until golden brown - a hollow sound should be produced when you tap the base

Slice the rolls in half and fill with the chicken, cucumber and apple salad. The rolls will keep in an airtight container for up 3 days, but are best served fresh
