Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Add the warm milk, egg and softened butter, then knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover with a tea towel and let rise for 1 hour somewhere warm, until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C (180 °C fan). Knock back the dough and roll it into a rectangle about 30 × 40 cm.
- Spread the Vegemite in a thin layer over the whole surface, then sprinkle with grated cheddar.
- Roll the dough tightly along the long side, then cut it into 12 slices about 3 cm thick with a sharp knife.
- Arrange the slices in a buttered tin, leaving a little space between them, cover and let them rise again for 20 minutes.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg yolk, sprinkle with sesame seeds if using, then bake for 18 to 20 minutes until well golden.
- Let them cool for a few minutes before serving, as the cheese should still be melting.
Variations and tips
Sweet version. Replace the Vegemite with cinnamon and brown sugar with a little melted butter, for a cinnamon version closer to classic scrolls.
Using what's available here. If you can't find Vegemite, a savoury spread such as Marmite or a little malt extract can stand in, but taste first as it is quite strong.
