Instructions

1. Combine flour, yeast and sugar in a large bowl and then stir in canola oil and enough warm water to form a dough.
2. Turn dough onto a clean, lightly floured bench and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little extra flour to the bench as required.
3. Lightly grease a large bowl with cooking spray, place dough in bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap and stand in a warm spot for 30-40 minutes or until dough has almost doubled in size.
4. Preheat oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan-forced).
5. Punch down dough with a fist and then knead again on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth and elastic. Roll out the dough onto a floured surface to form a 30cm x 30cm square.
6. Spread Vegemite evenly over dough and sprinkle with 3/4 cups of the grated cheese. Roll up dough and cut into 10 pieces.
7. Grease a large oven tray with cooking spray. Place the vegemite scrolls pieces, cut side down, on a prepared tray and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of grated cheese.
8. Cover the vegemite scrolls loosely with a clean, dry tea towel and return to warm spot for 15 minutes or until doubled in size once more.
9. Bake the vegemite scrolls in preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped with knuckles.
