Savoury Scrolls with Spinach Feta and Pine Nuts

 

Makes 18

 

Ingredients

 

For the dough

4 ½ cups (675g) plain flour

1 ½ teaspoons salt

85g unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 1/3 cups (330ml) milk

1/3 cup (80ml) Jalna Sweet & Creamy Greek Yoghurt

1 egg, lightly beaten

2 teaspoons instant yeast

 

For the filling and topping

250g packet frozen spinach, thawed

200g feta cheese, crumbled

150g semi dried tomatoes in oil, drained, coarsely chopped

75g pine nuts, toasted

Oil, for greasing

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/3 cup (42g) freshly grated parmesan

Method

Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Using your fingertips, rub in the butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.

 

Heat the milk in a small saucepan to scalding point. Pour into a separate bowl and whisk in the yoghurt, egg and yeast. Pour into the flour and mix with a round bladed knife using a cutting motion until it just comes together and forms a sticky dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave to rise 1 hour.

 

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few seconds to knock any air out. Return it to the bowl, cover loosely and leave in a warm place for a further 15 minutes.

 

Roll the dough out on a floured surface to a rectangle about 40cm x 30cm. Use your hands to squeeze excess water from spinach. Scatter pastry with spinach, cheese, tomatoes and nuts. Starting from a long side, roll the dough firmly like a Swiss roll. Trim off untidy ends and cut into 18 pieces.

 

Preheat oven to 220°C/180°C fan forced. Lightly grease a large baking tin with oil. Place buns in the pan, cut side down, about 1cm apart. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes to rise. Brush lightly with beaten egg and sprinkle with parmesan. Bake 18-20 minutes or until cooked through. Cool on a wire rack.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

 

Notes

The dough can be prepared the day before and refrigerated. Allow to come back to room temperature before cooking. Scrolls can be frozen in an airtight container or bag and reheated from frozen.

 

Substitute or add extra filling ingredients, such as prosciutto, caramelised onions, roasted capsicum, eggplant, pumpkin, fresh or dried herbs or ground nutmeg.

Jalna's NEW Greek Sweet and Creamy Yoghourt delivers on taste without compromising on purity

The team behind Australia's best-selling pot set Greek yoghourt has launched NEW Jalna Sweet and Creamy, which is based on Jalna's Natural Greek Yoghourt recipe.

Jalna's Natural Greek Yoghourt was recently named Champion Natural Yoghourt at the 2013 Australian Grand Dairy Awards, so it's a natural progression for Jalna to create a sweet twist on this traditional favourite.

Sweet and Creamy offers a velvety smooth, heavenly flavour that is less acidic than traditional Greek yoghourts, while still delivering the well-known health benefits of Greek yoghourt.

Jalna Sweet and Creamy is lightly sweetened with fruit juice, so there is no added cane sugar or artificial sweeteners, in fact there's nothing artificial in any Jalna products; no gums, starches, gluten, gelatine, stabilisers, preservatives, colours or acidifiers, no numbers in the ingredients list or words you don't understand, just honest natural goodness.

Leading dietitian Karen Inge suggests substituting cream in everyday dessert recipes for Jalna Sweet and Creamy yoghourt; -Jalna Sweet and Creamy yoghourt is delicious with stewed apples and a sprinkling of toasted muesli to provide a healthy dessert that offers a good source of calcium, protein and probiotics.'

Jalna has also recently launched its NEW snack size Citrus Splice, another good dessert alternative that is a throwback to that famous 1980's pairing of citrus and cream that conjures up memories of walking to the corner store on a hot summer's day.

Like all quality Jalna products, both Sweet and Creamy and Citrus Splice are packed with more than three million friendly acidophilus, bifidus and casei probiotic cultures in every 100g to help aide digestion, one of the key markers of good health.

Both yoghourts offer a protein rich snack that can be enjoyed at any time of the day, and are especially delicious when topped with fresh berries and nuts. Sweet and Creamy can also be used in cooking as a yoghourt marinade for sweet chilli chicken, a base for a prawn dipping sauce or a creamy salad dressing.

In essence Jalna yoghourts:

Are pot set therefore there is no need for any artificial additives
Contain 3 million+ ABC probiotic cultures per 100g
Are Australian made and owned
