Ingredients

Units:
  • 450 g plain flour
  • 7 g instant yeast
  • 30 g caster sugar
  • 5 g salt
  • 60 g butter, melted
  • 250 ml warm milk
  • 1 item egg
  • 60 g Vegemite
  • 30 g butter, softened (for filling)
  • 200 g cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 item egg (for egg wash)
  • 15 ml milk (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Create a well in the center and add melted butter, warm milk, and 1 egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  3. 3

    Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 40cm x 30cm (16 x 12 inches).

  6. 6

    Mix the Vegemite with softened butter until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 2cm border.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the Vegemite layer.

  8. 8

    Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Seal the edge by pinching the seam.

    Cut the log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.

  10. 10

    Place scrolls cut-side up in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, leaving space between each scroll.

  11. 11

    Cover with a tea towel and let rise for 30 minutes until puffed.

    Brush the tops of the scrolls with egg wash.

  14. 14

    Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Chef's Note

"These savory scrolls are an Aussie twist on classic cinnamon rolls, perfect for lunchboxes or afternoon tea. Don't be shy with the Vegemite - its salty punch paired with melted cheese creates an irresistible combination that'll have everyone coming back for seconds."
