Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp instant yeast, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt. Add 3/4 cup warm milk and 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  2. Step 2: Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled.
  3. Step 3: Roll the dough into a 12x10 inch rectangle. Spread 2 tbsp Vegemite evenly over the dough, then sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  4. Step 4: Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log. Cut into 12 equal slices and place them cut-side up in a greased baking dish.
  5. Step 5: Brush the tops with 1 beaten egg and bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  6. Step 6: Let cool slightly before serving warm.

How do I scale Vegetarian Vegemite and Cheese Scrolls for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 6 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 6). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
