Makes 9 scrolls
Ingredients
Dough
Spiced Sugar Filling
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Icing
- 200g cream cheese
- 4 Tbsp gingerbread yogurt
- 2 Tbsp icing sugar
Method
Start with making the dough
- Place the flour, bran flakes, brown sugar and salt into a mixing bowl and stir together. Make a well in the flour and sprinkle in the yeast.
- Pour over the warm milk and leave for 10 minutes until the yeast starts to foam.
- Add the yogurt, egg and butter and knead in a mixer for 5 minutes. The dough should be very soft but not overly sticky.
- Place into an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place to double in size (about an hour).
- While the dough is rising, mix together all the ingredients for the Spiced Sugar Filling except the butter.
- Line a 9cm x 9cm baking tin with baking paper. When the dough has doubled in size, gently tip out into a lightly floured bench and roll out to a rectangle of approximately 40cm x 22cm.
- Add the filling by brushing with melted butter and sprinkle over the spice sugar mixture.
- Roll up the dough into a log shape and cut into 9 scrolls. Place into the baking tin and cover with plastic wrap. Leave to prove another 20-30 minutes until the scrolls are touching each other.
- Heat the oven to 180°C.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- While the scrolls are baking, making the icing by beating together the cream cheese and icing sugar until soft and creamy. Add the yogurt 1 tablespoon at a time until you have a smooth and creamy mixture.
- Once the scrolls are cooked, take out of the tin and place on a rack to cool. Spread the scrolls with the icing and serve.
