yeasty!



Today I got really bored and I decided to veganise something I have always loved - cheesymite scrolls. I used marmite instead of vegemite because in my opinion, marmite is far superior! Add some grated mozzarella style cheezly and bada bing bada boom!

Recipe I used from taste.com.au for ham and tomato cheese scrolls but I just changed some bits here and there:

Ingredients

2 Cups Self-raising flour
30g Nutelex or vegan marg.
3/4 Cup Soy Milk
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
2 tbs Marmite or other vegan yeast spread
Half block mozzarella style cheezly - grated

Method
  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Put flour in a large bowl (I forgot about sifting and it still came out OK so I guess if you wanna sift, then sift, but if you remember to forget, then goodo). Add salt and baking powder. Add nutelex. Using your fingertips, rub nutelex into flour until combined. Make a well in the centre.
  2. Pour soy milk into well. Using a flat-bladed knife, stir until mixture is almost combined. Using your hands, bring dough together into a ball. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. The recipe said gently kneed the dough 'till smooth but I just kneed the shit out of it until it was smooth... either will do. Using a rolling pin, roll dough out to a rectangle.
  3. Spread marmite over dough, leaving a 3cm border along both long edges. Sprinkle cheezly over marmite. Roll up dough firmly like a Swiss roll. Cut into 8 slices. Arrange scrolls close together on prepared tray, ensuring join is turned inwards so scrolls don't unroll while cooking - 'coz that would suck. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until light golden.

Yum!

I wanted to use up the wraps and the lettuce from last night while it was still crisp and fresh so for dinner tonight I made burritos with a mixture of rice, green wheat freekeh and corn on the side.
