Marmite cheese twirl sticks

Serves: 5 (makes 20)
Prep: 15 + chilling time
Cook: 24

Ingredients

1/2 cup (80g) margarine or olive oil spread
2 cups (250g) wholemeal flour or buckwheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
4 tsp Marmite
1/2 cup ice water
30-40g parmesan cheese, finely grated

Method

  1. Step 1

    Freeze the margarine for 10 mins before making the dough. Place wholemeal flour, baking powder and half the Marmite into bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the margarine to flour and pulse until mixture resembles crumbs. Add ice water and pulse until dough begins to clump.
  2. Step 2

    Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Shape dough into a rectangle. Roll out with a floured rolling pin, back and forth to create about 20x30cm rectangle. Roughly spread with remaining Marmite and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  3. Step 3

    Fold one edge of the longest side to the centre of the rectangle and repeat with the opposite edge, leaving a rectangle. Then press out into another rectangle. Roll it up again; wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hr.
  4. Step 4

    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Roll dough out into a flat rectangle 20x30cm. Cut into strips and twist the pieces and lay on the baking tray, squash slightly to hold in place.
  5. Step 5

    Bake in oven for 12-15 mins until golden brown and crispy. Allow to cool on a rack, before storing in a sealed container.
