This is not officially a dessert, but if you are a savoury person over sweet this will appeal to you.

Fig Focaccia with Brie

Serves 8

·250g 00-type flour
·2 tsp fresh yeast
·1/2 cup warm water
·1 egg
·1/2 tsp sugar
·1/2 tsp salt
·60g softened butter
·8 fresh figs, sliced lengthways into sixes
·1/3 cup demerara sugar

·200g double brie

Place the flour in a big bowl and make a well in the centre. Dissolve the yeast into the water and pour into the well. Mix in a little of the flour and set aside for 10 minutes or until the mixture bubbles and expands.

Add the egg, sugar, salt and butter and mix all together to make a soft dough. Cover with a tea towel and set aside in a warm place for 90 minutes to rise.

Press the dough into a 26cm pizza tray and arrange the fig slices on top. Cover and set aside in a warm place for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with the demerara sugar and bake in a 220C preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat and bake for a further 15 minutes.

Serve with cheese at room temperature.
