Ingredients
Dough:
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 3 tsp active yeast
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 4 cups plain flour
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp salt
Salted Butterscotch:
- 1 cup cream
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 60g butter
Scroll Filling:
- 3-4 Peas Good Nonsuch apples
- 80g butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
Salted Butterscotch and Apple Scrolls
Method
Make the dough:
- Warm the milk (don’t make it too hot, just luke warm) and add the yeast and sugar and mix. Allow to sit for 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Place flour in a bowl with the salt, make a well in the centre and add the egg and then the yeast/milk mix. Mix until the dough comes together. Cover and set aside for 40 minutes.
- While the dough is resting, make the butterscotch sauce.
Make butterscotch sauce:
- In a pot add the cream, brown sugar and vanilla. Bring to the boil. Continue to boil for 2-3 minutes before removing from the heat and whisking in the butter and sea salt. Set aside to cool.
Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
- Prepare melted butter.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Lightly dust the bench with flour, roll the bread dough out to a 30x40cm rectangle.
- Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle over 1/3 of the cinnamon/sugar mix.
- Roll the dough again and then repeat the process. Repeat the folding process one more time.
- Peel and grate the apples.
- Roll the dough out one last time to a 30 x 40cm rectangle, spread with about ½ - 2/3 of the butterscotch sauce and then sprinkle over the grated apple. Don’t overwork the dough—keep it soft for fluffy scrolls.
- Roll the dough up from the long edge to create a long scroll. Cut the dough into 12 pieces and place them into a lined baking tray/cake tin.
- Drizzle over the remaining butterscotch sauce and leave the scrolls loosely covered for 15 minutes to rise before baking.
- Bake the scrolls for approx. 20 minutes until the dough is cooked. Check one of the inside scrolls to make sure it is cooked through.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes and then dig in!
Comments
*You can use a loose bottom cake tin if you want perfectly round scrolls. If you would prefer, a rectangle baking tray is fine too but the outside scrolls will not be completely round.
