Marmite Cheese Rolls Food

CHEESE & MARMITE SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle roughly A4 size (30 x 21cm). Drizzle and gently spread over half the Marmite and evenly scatter with two-thirds of the cheddar. Fold the two ends of the rectangle into the middle, then fold everything in half again so the pastry is like a book, then fold in half again so you have a tight block of pastry. Cover with cling film and put in the fridge for at least 10 mins.
• Tip the sausagemeat into a large bowl with the remaining Marmite and cheese and add 3 tbsp of cold water and squish or mix everything together.
• Roll out the pastry to a neat rectangle, roughly 35 x 30cm. Trim the edges with a knife so they are perfectly straight, then cut in half lengthways so you have two long strips. Divide the sausage mix in two and mould each half along the middle of each strip in a cylindrical shape, leaving a decent border at either side. Brush the border and top of the sausage mix with beaten egg and roll the pastry over to encase the sausage, tightly pressing both edges of pastry together by crimping or pressing down gently with a fork.
• Cut the sausage rolls into a length that suits. Place on a baking sheet and chill again for at least 20 mins or until ready to bake (chilling the pastry now will stop it from splitting as it cooks). Can be made up to a day ahead or frozen for a month. To cook from frozen, just add an extra 10 mins to the cooking time.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush the sausage rolls liberally with egg and bake for 30-35 mins until the pastry is deep golden - don't be scared to take them to the edge of dark golden and slightly charred around the edges. Lift from the tray to a rack immediately or they'll stick to the tray and leave to cool for at least 10 mins then eat hot, warm or leave to go cold and pack into a lunchbox.

MARMITE AND CHEESE WHIRLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220°C/425/Gas 7. Line baking sheet with non stick paper.
• Roll out the pastry to about 14x10 inches.
• Spread the Marmite on the pastry, leaving a 1cm border. Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg and sprinkle cheese over Marmite.
• Roll up the pastry like a Swiss roll, starting from the long edge. Roll it quite tightly. Brush the outside of the pastry with beaten egg.
• Cut roll into thick slices and place on baking sheet.
• Cook for 12-15 minutes until pastry is risen and golden.
• Serve warm or cold.

CHEESE, MARMITE & SPINACH PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Unroll the pastry with the longer side directly in front of you. Spread the Marmite over the surface. Tear the spinach over the Marmite and scatter with the cheese, making sure it's evenly spread.
• Tightly roll the pastry away from you (starting from the longer side) to create a long sausage shape, then cut into 12 pieces. Arrange over two baking trays lined with baking parchment, spiral side up, and squash down a little with your hand. Will keep covered and frozen at this stage. Bake for 15-20 mins (or 25 mins if cooking from frozen), until puffed and golden brown.

MARMITE AND CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• In large bowl combine 1/2 cup fall pupose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour salt, and yeast. Heat water until very warm (120º - 130º F) and dissolve Marmite and butter in it. Stir into the dry ingredients.
• Add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until soft and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Knead in the cheese.
• Cover; let rest on floured surface about 10 minutes.
• Punch down dough and roll into a 12 X 7 inch rectangle. Starting from the shorter end, roll up tightly like a jellyroll. Pinch the seams and ends to seal them. Place seam side down in an 8- X 4-inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise in a warm draft-free place until doubled in size, about 90 minutes.
• Brush the top lightly with milk. Bake on the middle shelf of a preheated 375º oven for 30-40 minutes or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom crust. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover with aluminum foil until finished cooking.
• Remove from pan; let cool on wire rack. Enjoy!
