Macadamia and vegemite scrolls

Macadamia and vegemite scrolls

For a delightful twist, try this scroll recipe which adds the soft crunch of macadamias and the saltiness of vegemite to it! 

Makes: 10

Ingredients:

  • 500g plain bread flour plus ¼ cup for kneading and rolling
  • 1 sachet dried yeast
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 325ml warm water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegemite, or to taste
  • 2 cups (125g) tasty cheese, grated
  • 3/4 cup raw macadamias, chopped roughly

Method:

  1. Combine the flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre. Combine water and olive oil and pour into the well. Using a knife, stir together the water mixture with the flour mixture until it comes together and starts to form a ball.
  2. Place the ball onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes, adding more flour if the mixture is too sticky. Place the dough in a lightly oiled mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap and stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  3. Punch down the dough and place on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to a 30cm square. Spread with Vegemite and sprinkle with cheese and macadamias.
  4. Roll the dough into one long scroll and cut into 10 pieces. Place the pieces, cut side down onto a lightly oiled baking tray in a circular pattern, leaving at least 3cm between pieces for them to spread. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and place the tray in a warm place until pieces have doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  5. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 180°C. Place tray in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden. Serve warm or when cool.
