In a large bowl, mix the bread flour, yeast, sugar and 1 tsp salt together. Add the Kerrygold® and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs. Pour in the warm milk and egg, and mix until it forms a soft dough. Knead the dough for 8-10 mins on a lightly floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 mins. Add the grated mixed cheeses and cubed cheddar, and knead them into the dough until evenly distributed.

Boil the kettle. Drizzle the oil from the anchovy jar into a large frying pan, set over a medium heat. Add the anchovies and stir for a couple of minutes to break them up. Add the butter to the pan, swirling until it’s melted and foaming, then stir in the onions. Sizzle gently for 10 mins until the onions are soft, then add the garlic and preserved lemon and stir for another minute. Fill a large saucepan with kettle-hot water, season with salt and bring to the boil.

Put the chopped dates and milk in a saucepan and warm over a low-medium heat until the milk is steaming. Cook for a few more minutes until the dates are soft, then remove from the heat and leave to cool a little. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip the butter, sugar, whole bananas (including the skin), eggs, vanilla, flour, bicarb, and the date and milk mixture into a blender. Add ½ tsp salt and blend to a smooth cake batter.

Start by making the pastry – you can do this a few days ahead, if you like. Tip the flour into a large bowl and add the butter and a good pinch of salt. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until you have a damp, sandy texture. Add the egg and 1 tbsp cold water, whisk together with a fork, then work the egg into the buttery flour crumbs until the pastry comes together, adding a splash more water if it seems dry. Don’t overwork the pastry otherwise it will become tough.
