Easiest Jam Roly Poly Recipes

JAM ROLY-POLY

Steps:

• Pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter, and pulse until pieces are no larger than peas. Add milk; process until a soft dough forms. Place dough on plastic wrap, and pat into a rectangle; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a roasting rack in a large roasting pan. Butter a 21-inch piece of parchment paper; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out to slightly thicker than 1/8 inch. Cut into a 15-by-12-inch rectangle. Spread jam over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle chocolate over jam if desired. Fold short sides of dough in by 1 inch. Roll lengthwise to form a cylinder, brushing off excess flour. Pinch ends and along length of cylinder to seal.
• Place seam side down in center of buttered side of parchment. Bring long sides of parchment together at top, and make a 1/2-inch fold. Fold over again, and seal. Tuck ends under. Repeat with foil, folding sides together and twisting ends.
• Place wrapped cylinder on rack in pan. Add enough boiling water to come about 1 1/2 inches up sides of pan (water should not reach pudding). Transfer to oven; bake 1 hour, adding boiling water occasionally to maintain level. Loosely tent with foil; bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of pudding registers 180 degrees, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer pudding to a wire rack, and let cool 20 minutes. Remove foil and parchment, and slice. Serve warm, with creme anglaise if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350*F (180*C).
• and line a baking tray with baking paper.
• Sift the flour into a large bowl and add the butter.
• Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
• Stir through the sugar.
• Add the milk and 50 ml water, and stir with with a flat bladed knife to make a soft dough.
• Turn onto a lightly floured surface and gather together to form a smooth dough.
• On a large sheet of non stick baking paper, roll the dough into a rectangle about 13.
• 5 inches by 9 inches.
• Spread with the raspberry jam, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edge.
• Roll up lengthwise like a jelly roll (swiss roll) and place on the prepared tray, seam side down.
• Brush with extra milk and bake in the oven for about 35 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
• Leave to stand a few minutes, then cut into thick slices, using a serrated knife.
• Serve warm with custard.

Steps:

• Fill a large heavy pot (at least 10 inches across, with a tight-fitting lid) with 1‚ inches water. Make a platform for pudding by setting metal cookie cutters or egg-poaching rings in bottom of pot.
• Center a 10- by 8-inch sheet of wax paper or parchment paper on top of a 14-inch square of heavy-duty foil with a short edge toward you.
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to form a 10- by 6-inch rectangle. Spread jam over dough, leaving a ‚-inch border around edges, and brush border with water. Starting with a short side, roll up dough to form a 6-inch log. Gently pinch seam to seal.
• Center log, seam side down, on wax paper and brush with melted butter. Fold short sides of wax paper loosely over log and wrap log loosely in foil, crimping edges together over top to seal completely and leaving space in package for pudding to expand slightly.
• Bring water in pot to a boil and set mold on platform. Steam pudding, covered, over simmering water 1 1/2 to 2 hours (add more boiling water to pot if necessary), or until golden and puffed. Transfer pudding in foil to a rack and let stand 5 minutes.
• Unwrap pudding and gently slide onto a platter. Slice and serve immediately with custard sauce.

Steps:

• Put a deep roasting tin onto the bottom shelf of the oven, and make sure that there's another shelf directly above it. Pull the roasting tin out on its shelf, fill two-thirds with boiling water from the kettle, then carefully slide it back in. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tear off a large sheet of foil and greaseproof paper (about 30 x 40cm). Sit the greaseproof on top of the foil and butter it.
• Tip butter, flour and vanilla seeds into a food processor; pulse until the butter has disappeared. Tip into a mixing bowl. Stir through the suet, pour in the milk and work together with a cutlery knife until you get a sticky dough. You may need a drop more milk, depending on your flour.
• Tip the dough out onto a floured surface, quickly pat together to smooth, then roll out to a square roughly 25 x 25cm. Spread the jam all over, leaving a gap along one edge, then roll up from the opposite edge. Pinch the jam-free edge into the dough where it meets, and pinch the ends roughly, too. Carefully lift onto the greased paper, join-side down (you might find a flat baking sheet helpful for this), loosely bring up the paper and foil around it, then scrunch together along the edges and ends to seal. The roly-poly will puff quite a bit during cooking so don't wrap it tightly. Lift the parcel directly onto the rack above the tin and cook for 1 hr.
• Let the pudding sit for 5 mins before unwrapping, then carefully open the foil and paper, and thickly slice to serve.
