Holiday bake - Cheesymite scrolls

After the exam we got 2 weeks break and without realising it, it is already a week into the holiday. I just want to share with you what I baked this week. I made Cheesymite scrolls but the result wasn't good. It wasn't soft and the texture was more like a cake. I was also a little too generous with the vegemite, so it was quite salty. To make it worse, I overbaked it a little too. So triple failure for this bake. Oh well, I will just have to try it again. 

Vegemite is very Australian. It is the same as what we call Marmite back home. I remember when I first visited Australia many years back, I bought vegemite as a souvenir to bring home. Cheesymite scroll is a very Australian bun. It is a spiral bread with vegemite and cheese on the inside. I really like eating Cheesymite scrolls but not these that I made.

Simple Bun Dough.

The dough that I made was a simple bun dough which I proved for 1 hour until it doubled in size. It looked well risen but I am not sure why the end result of the texture wasn't soft. 

Rolled the dough flat.

Spreaded the vegemite and sprinkled with cheese.

 I didnt know how much vegemite to use, but now I know, this is too much. After I was done spreading the vegemite and sprinkling the cheese, I rolled the dough up and cut into 4-5cm thick. Placed them in a tray and let it prove again before baking them.

They have risen and are ready to be baked.

 They actually look quite nice except for some burnt bits. But too bad, it wasn't as tasty as I wished it was. 

Ready to eat.
