Vegemite and Cheese Scrolls

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.

  9. 9

    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.

  12. 12

    Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Beat remaining egg with milk for egg wash.

  13. 13

    Brush the tops of the scrolls with egg wash.

  14. 14

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

  15. 15

    Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.

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."
