Cheesy Marmite Breakfast Swirls
These cheesy Marmite swirls are great any time of day, but I love to have them at breakfast because they’re a great grab and go option. There’s something wonderful about the salty punch of marmite mixed with the savoury tang of the cheese.
These are made using my garlic swirl recipe which you can find in detail HERE. When it’s time to add the filling you simply switch out for this one, OR you can do as I like to do and make a batch of half garlic and half marmite so there’s some variety for the week. If you want to do that you simply halve each of the filling recipes, and when you get to the spreading stage spread half on each side if you’re looking at it landscape.
These keep fresh at room temperate for a few days or up to a week in the fridge - you can warm them up in the oven for 5 minutes or in the microwave for 10 seconds and they’re good as new (nearly)!
INGREDIENTS
1 batch of swirl dough HERE
125g butter, softened
2 tbs Marmite or Vegemite
125g strong cheddar
METHOD
Follow the cheesy garlic bread recipe up to step 4 and continue below:
Instead of making garlic butter, mix your marmite and softened butter together until smooth and spreadable.
Line a 9×13 inch baking tray with baking paper and get ready for the fun bit.
When the dough has doubled in size tip the dough onto a floured work surface and use a rolling pin to create a rectangle about 12x18in.
Spread the marmite butter all over the dough and then sprinkle over the cheese.
Take the long end and roll up tightly so you have one long sausage of dough. Trim off the ends if they’re looking untidy and them you want to make 12 swirls and I think the best way to do this without measuring is to cut the sausage in half, cut the two pieces you now have in half so you have four pieces. Then cut each those four pieces you’re left with into three. I like to use a piece of thread to do this but gently cutting with a serrated knife gets a good result too. Put these into the lined tray and allow to rise until pillowy and soft (pictured below)– this takes about 45 mins to an hour.
Preheat your oven to 190°C or fan170 °C and when it’s come to temperature, bake the swirls for 25 minutes until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and brush the warm rolls with butter - this will give them a nice shiny top. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
These rolls can be stored in an airtight container for a few days at room temperature but they’re best eaten the day you make them. You can perk them up again by putting them in the oven for 5 minutes or 10 seconds in the microwave if you’re in a pinch.
