Ingredients

Dough

  1. ½ cup (75g) wholemeal plain flour

  2. ½ cup (75g) plain flour

  3. ½ tsp ground cinnamon or Queen Cinnamon Baking Paste

  4. 1 tsp dried yeast

  5. 2 tbsp Equal Spoonful

  6. 1/2 cup (125ml) lukewarm low-fat milk

  7. 1 tsp Queen Vanilla Bean Paste

  8. 2 tsp butter

  9. 2/3 cup (80g) fresh or frozen raspberries, defrosted, roughly chopped

  10. 1 large ripe pear, peeled, cored, finely chopped

  11. ¼ cup Equal Spoonful, extra

  12. ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Filling

  1. 2 tsp butter

  2. 2/3 cup (80g) fresh or frozen raspberries, defrosted, roughly chopped

  3. 1 large ripe pear, peeled, cored, finely chopped

  4. ¼ cup Equal Spoonful, extra

  5. ½ tsp ground cinnamon or Queen Cinnamon Baking Paste

Method - Dough

  1. Step 1

    Place flours, cinnamon, yeast and Equal Spoonful in a medium bowl. Stir well. Add the milk and vanilla and use a flat-bladed knife to mix until just starts to come together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and bring together to form a ball. Knead dough for 5-10 minutes or until smooth and the dough bounces back when you push a finger into it. Transfer to a bowl. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap and a clean tea towel. Set aside in a warm, draught-free place for 1 ½ hours, or until doubled in size.

  2. Step 2

    Line a baking tray with baking paper. Use your fist to punch down the dough until it returns to its original size. Use a rolling pin to roll out on a lightly floured surface until a 25 x 30cm rectangle.

Method - Filling

  1. Step 1

    Brush the dough with most of the butter. Sprinkle over the raspberries, cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of the extra Equal.

  2. Step 2

    Starting from one of the long sides, roll up dough tightly to enclose the filling. Cut the roll into ten even-sized pieces. Arrange the scrolls in a circular pattern, placing 8 around the outside and two in the centre, to form a flower shape, leaving 1-2cm between each scroll. Cover with a clean tea towel and set aside for 30 minutes to rise again.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat oven to 170°C (fan-forced). Brush the scrolls with the remaining spread and Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is cooked through and light golden. Sprinkle over the remaining Equal. Set aside on the tray to cool for 20 minutes before serving.

Tip – Keep scrolls in an airtight container for up to 2 days or wrap individual portions in plastic wrap and place in resealable freezer bags. Freeze for up to 3 months.
