Cinnamon Scrolls

Ingredients

Dough

3/4 cup (185ml) warm skim milk

2 tsp (1 sachet/7g) dried yeast

1/4 cup (55g) caster sugar

1 Coles Australian Free Range Egg, lightly whisked

50g butter, melted

2 cups (300g) plain flour

1 cup (150g) lupin flour

1/2 tsp salt

Ground cinnamon, to sprinkle

Cinnamon filling

2/3 cup (150g) brown sugar

1 1/2 tbs ground cinnamon

60g butter, softened

Buttercream

50g butter, softened

3/4 cup (120g) icing sugar mixture

2 tsp milk

Method

Place the milk, yeast and 1 tsp sugar in a small jug. Stir until well combined. Set aside for 5 mins or until the mixture is frothy.

Add the egg, butter and 1 tbs water to the milk mixture. Whisk to combine.

Combine flour, salt and remaining sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre. Add milk mixture and use a round-bladed knife to stir until a soft, sticky dough forms. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 mins or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover loosely with a clean damp tea towel. Set aside in a warm, draught-free place for 1 hour or until the dough doubles in size.

Meanwhile, to make the cinnamon filling, place the sugar, cinnamon and butter in a small bowl and stir until a smooth paste forms.

Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a 22cm square cake pan and line the base and sides with baking paper. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Roll out the dough to a 30cm x 40cm rectangle. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 2cm border at 1 long end. Starting from the other long end, roll up the dough to enclose the filling. Use a serrated knife to cut evenly into 9 scrolls. Arrange the scrolls, cut-side up, in the prepared pan. Cover loosely with a clean damp tea towel and set aside for 20-30 mins or until the dough rises to the top of the pan.

Bake for 10 mins. Reduce oven to 180°C. Bake for a further 20-25 mins or until the scrolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the top. Set aside in the pan to cool.

To make the buttercream, use an electric mixer to beat the butter in a bowl until very pale. Add the icing sugar and beat until well combined. Add the milk and beat to combine.

Place the scrolls on a serving platter. Spread with the buttercream and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Gluten free bread

Lupin gluten free bread

Ingredients

500mls water

3 x 60g eggs

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tsp vinegar

4 cups GF flour (I use 1 cup each of buckwheat, wholemeal Lupin, chickpea and polenta)

3 tablespoons mixed seeds (I use poppy seeds, pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, linseed)

1 tbsp xanthan gum

2 tablespoons sugar

1 1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp yeast

Method

Put ingredients in pan in the order above.

Place in bread maker.

Choose gluten free programme.

Select dark crust.

Select 1 kg loaf size (if you don’t have a size selection on your machine that’s fine)

Press start. Scrape sides of tin down after 5/10 mins to encourage all ingredients to be mixed properly.

Cook about 2.5 hrs.

This is very much a mix and match recipe as far as flours go. If I can’t find what I want I use other flours such as brown rice or tapioca. I have never used spelt but some people may like to use it.

I also add some Lupin kibble to my flour mix, the amount varies but about half a cup to my container, in which I mix all my flours.

Hollie’s Brownies

Thanks to Hollie for this yummy snack!

Ingredients

175g unsalted butter, chopped

200g dark chocolate, chopped

200g soft brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

2 eggs

1 cup (125g) lupin flour

Optional: 3/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries or blueberries or nuts such as walnuts/hazelnuts/cashews. Note that the berries will make it more moist so it might need a touch more flour. I always make it without the berries.

Method

Place butter and chocolate pieces in a small saucepan (or in microwave safe bowl) melt over low heat until smooth.

Place in a bowl and mix in sugar, vanilla, eggs and sifted flour, then gently fold through berries or nuts (if you are adding them).

Pour mixture into either (a) a greased 18cm square cake tin and bake at 180ºC for 20-30 minutes or until just cooked (test by inserting a skewer into centre), or (b) spoon mixture into cupcake tray and bake at 180ºC  for 15 to 20 minutes or until just cooked. I always take the brownies out just before they’re completely cooked and let them sit in the pan for a bit so that they finish cooking while they’re out of the oven. This ensures that they are moist and delicious!
