Vegemite and Cheese Scrolls
Vegemite and cheese scrolls are a bakery favourite, and this homemade version is just as good.
Ingredients
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Pinch white sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons Vegemite
- 1 cup grated tasty cheese
Instructions
- Add to the bowl of a stand mixer the bread flour, water, olive oil, yeast, salt and sugar. Knead using the dough hook attachment for 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with cling wrap and sit in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, then turn onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out into a large rectangle using a rolling pin.
- Spread the vegemite evenly over the dough with a butter knife, then sprinkle over the grated cheese.
- Roll the dough into a long log, then cut into 12 equal pieces. Place the scrolls on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Cover with cling wrap and sit in a warm spot for around 30 minutes, or until risen to the desired size.
- Preheat the oven to 180c fan forced. Bake the scrolls for 15 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
Notes
This dough can be kneaded by hand. Combine the dough ingredients in a bowl, then turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for approximately 8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Store these scrolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Alternatively, freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
