Instructions
Yeast Dough
- Proof Yeast - mix yeast with ½ lukewarm milk and sugar and salt. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour allow to activate for 15 minutes (you will see bubbles and foam).
- Mix - in a large bowl, add remaining flour, milk, egg and melted butter. Pour in the activated yeast mixture and stir until it forms a shaggy ball.
- Knead - on a floured surface knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic
- Rise - place in oiled bowl, cover with cling wrap and a kitchen towel. Place in warm spot. Takes about 1½ hours to rise. Punch down and gently knead before using.
How to Make Cheesymite Rolls
- Prepare Dough - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle, approximately 16x20 inches.
- Spread Vegemite and Cheese - Spread the Vegemite thinly over the yeast dough, leaving a 1cm border around the dough, Vegemite free. Sprinkle the cheese over the Vegemite.
- Roll and Cut - Roll up the yeast dough firmly until you have a cheesy dough log. Start rolling dough from the long edge, not short edge. Using a sharp knife, cut every 3cm (1 inch) along the dough log. Place the scrolls on a greased baking sheet or parchment paper.
- Rise - Cover loosely with cling wrap and place in a warm place for about 45 minutes, allowing the dough to rise further. This is optional, especially if you're pressed for time, but makes for a better scroll.
- Bake - Brush the Cheesymite Scrolls with milk. Put a pinch of cheese on top of the Cheesymite Scroll. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Allow to cool and enjoy.
