Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp salt. Add 1 cup warm milk (110°F) and 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  2. Step 2: Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  3. Step 3: Roll the dough into a 12x16-inch rectangle. Spread 1/4 cup Vegemite evenly over the surface, then sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup chopped fresh spinach on top.
  4. Step 4: Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut into 12 equal scrolls and place them cut side up on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  5. Step 5: Brush the tops with 1 beaten egg. Cover loosely and let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  6. Step 6: Bake scrolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Cool slightly before serving warm.
