Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
Thinly slice spring onion. Pick thyme leaves
In a small bowl whisk the egg.

In a large bowl, combine basic sponge mix, Greek-style yoghurt, shredded Cheddar cheese, thyme leaves, the water, salt, half of the grated Parmesan cheese, half the spring onion and a drizzle of olive oil.
Lightly dust a work surface with a generous pinch of plain flour.
Tip out dough and knead until smooth, 2-3 minutes Cover and set aside.

TIP: If the dough is too sticky, add extra pinches of flour while kneading!

Divide dough into 28 pieces, forming them into equal sized balls.

Place balls on an oven tray lined with baking paper, in the shape of a Christmas tree (they should be just touching).

Brush egg wash on dough balls and bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
In the last 5 minutes of cook time, sprinkle over diced bacon and bake, until golden.
