Cheese And Marmite Biscuits Recipes

CHEESE & MARMITE SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and dust a baking tray with a little flour. Mix the flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Put 1 tsp Marmite in a jug, add the egg and make up to 300ml with the milk. Stir in the oil, then beat really well to dissolve the Marmite.
• Tip 85g of the cheddar into a bowl and mix with the cream cheese and remaining Marmite to make a spread. Toss the rest of the cheese through the flour mixture, then pour in the milk mixture and stir with the blade of a knife until it comes together. (You need to work quickly once you've added the liquid, as it activates the baking powder.) Tip onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead the mix, taking care not to overwork it, as it will make the scones heavy.
• Press or lightly roll the dough into an oblong about 20 x 25cm. Spread with the Marmite mixture and roll up from the longest side to create a tight, fat cylinder. Pat the ends of the cylinder to straighten them, then slice into 8 pinwheels and put on the baking tray, patting them to make flattish rounds. Bake for 12-15 mins until golden and cooked.
• Leave for a few mins on the tray to allow the cheese centre to harden a little, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Eat warm or cold. Best eaten on the day they are made.

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!
