Ingredients for Cheesymite Scrolls: What Youโll Need
Letโs gather our ingredients before we get our hands doughy! Making Cheesymite Scrolls is super fun, and having everything ready makes the process a breeze. Hereโs what youโll need:
- 4 cups of bread flour โ This is what makes our scrolls soft and fluffy. If you donโt have bread flour, plain flour will do just fine!
- 3 teaspoons of instant yeast โ This little magic ingredient helps our dough rise like itโs on a trampoline!
- 2 teaspoons of white sugar โ Just a tiny bit to help wake up that yeast. Think of it as a little morning coffee for our dough!
- 1 1/4 teaspoons of cooking salt โ A must for flavor! If you use table salt, cut the amount in half since itโs finer.
- 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons of warm milk โ The warmth helps activate the yeast. Aim for bath warm, not boiling, or you might end up with yeast soup!
For the heavenly filling:
- 50g (3 tablespoons) of salted butter โ This will make everything nice and rich!
- 3 tablespoons of Vegemite โ Ah, the star of the show! Thereโs no substitute for this Aussie favorite.
- 5 cups (500g) of freshly shredded cheese โ I recommend Colby cheese for that perfect melt. You could also try cheddar or Monterey Jack if you like!
With these goodies lined up, you’re ready to create some magic in the kitchen! Remember, Iโm here to share tips from my own experiences, so don’t sweat it if things donโt go as planned! It happens to the best of us. Grab your apron, and letโs turn these ingredients into the ultimate cheesy delight! Whoโs excited? I know I am! ๐๐ง
Step-by-Step Guide to Making Soft White Bread Dough
Alright, my friend! Letโs get our hands dirty making that soft white bread dough for our Cheesymite Scrolls! This part is simple and oh-so-satisfying. Hereโs how we do it:
- Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a big bowl (or the bowl of your stand mixer), add:
– 4 cups of bread flour
– 3 teaspoons of instant yeast
– 2 teaspoons of white sugar
– 1 1/4 teaspoons of cooking salt
Give these a little whisk to combine. Itโs like inviting everyone to the party!
- Add the Warm Milk
Now, gently pour in 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons of warm milk. Remember, we want this milk warm, like a cozy hug, but not boiling! If itโs too hot, the yeast might throw a fit and give up on us.
- Mix Until Combined
If youโre using a stand mixer, mix it on low speed until the dough comes together, and you canโt see any dry flour. If youโre mixing by hand, grab a wooden spoon and mix away!
- Knead the Dough
Time for a little workout! Knead the dough for about 5 minutes. If youโre using a stand mixer, just let it do the work! The dough should become smooth and pull away from the sides easily. If itโs too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour. Too dry? Add a tablespoon of warm milk at a time.
- Check Your Dough
Grab a ball of dough and hold it in your hands. When you stretch it, it should spring back without breaking! If youโre ready to blow up a balloon, you might be too enthusiastic!
Now, look at that beautiful dough! It’s your trusty companion for those cheesy, Vegemite-filled scrolls. Isnโt it amazing what a little mixing and kneading can do? I canโt wait to share the next steps with youโstay tuned! ๐ฅณ๐
How to Shape, Cut, and Bake Your Cheesymite Scrolls
Now that we have our lovely dough ready, itโs time to turn it into Cheesymite Scrolls! This part is where the real fun beginsโso letโs get rolling!
- First Rise
After kneading, place your dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm spot for about 1.5 hours or until itโs doubled in size. This is when the yeast is working its magic!
- Roll Out the Dough
Punch the dough down to release some airโdonโt worry, itโs therapeutic! Then, turn it out onto a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to spread it into a rectangle about 48 x 28 cm (11 x 19 inches). It doesnโt have to be perfect, but aim for even thickness!
- Spread with Goodies!
The fun part: Spread 50g of softened salted butter over the dough, followed by 3 tablespoons of Vegemite. And then, sprinkle 300g of freshly shredded cheese evenly across the entire surface. Donโt be shy with the cheese; itโs called Cheesymite Scrolls for a reason!
- Roll It Up
Starting from one long end, roll the dough up firmly but not too tightโthink of it as making a big, delicious burrito! Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
- Second Rise
Place the scrolls in a greased or lined baking dish, leaving some space between each piece for expansion. Cover them with oiled cling wrap, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake Those Scrolls
Preheat your oven to 180ยฐC (350ยฐF). Once ready, pop those beautiful scrolls in for about 25 minutes. After that, rotate the pan and bake for another 10 minutes at 200ยฐC (375ยฐF) until theyโre golden and oozy.
Now, just let them rest for a few minutes, and youโll have soft, dreamy scrolls ready to devour! I can already smell them bakingโwho could resist that irresistible aroma? ๐๐ง
Storage Tips: How to Keep Your Scrolls Fresh and Delicious
Youโve made a batch of scrumptious Cheesymite Scrolls, and now you’re probably wondering how to keep them fresh! Donโt worry; Iโve got some handy tips for you!
- Cool Completely Before Storing
First things first, letโs let our sticky friends cool down on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes. If you put them away while theyโre still warm, they might end up sweaty and soggy. Yuck!
- Airtight Container
Once completely cooled, store your scrolls in an airtight container. This keeps air out and helps them stay soft. If you have a cooler spot in your kitchen, thatโs the perfect place!
- Room Temperature or Fridge?
For best results, keep your scrolls at room temperature. Theyโll be good for about 3 days. If you think you wonโt finish them in that time, pop them in the fridge, but I must warn youโthey might dry out a bit. Still tasty, though!
- Reheating Tip
To bring back that fresh-out-of-the-oven warmth, just microwave a scroll for about 20 seconds. You’ll be amazed at how good they taste warm, like they just came out of the oven!
- Freezing for Later
Want to keep the cheesy goodness for longer? You can freeze them! Wrap each scroll in plastic wrap and then put them in a freezer bag. They will last for about 3 months. Just thaw and reheat when youโre ready to enjoy!
Following these tips will help keep those Cheesymite Scrolls as mouthwatering as when they first came out of the oven! Now you can enjoy them fresh every time! ๐๐ฅณ
