Jam Roll

Create a high tea experience at home with these beautiful jam rolls.

Ingredients

Melted butter, to grease

3 eggs

70g (1/3 cup) caster sugar

75g (1/2 cup) plain flour

160g (1/2 cup) strawberry jam

125ml (1/2 cup) double cream

Icing sugar, to dust

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush a 24 x 30cm (base measurement) Swiss roll pan with butter to grease. Line with non-stick baking paper, cutting the corners to fit.
2. Use an electric beater to beat eggs and sugar in a bowl until a ribbon trail forms when the beaters are lifted. Sift one-third of the flour into the egg mixture and use a metal spoon to fold until just combined. Repeat with the remaining flour in 2 more batches. Pour mixture into pan and smooth surface with the back of a spoon.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove sponge from oven and turn onto a clean surface. Use a serrated knife to cut sponge in half lengthways. Place one half on a clean tea towel. Starting with the long side closest to you, roll up sponge. Repeat with the remaining sponge and another clean tea towel. Set aside for 20 minutes to cool.
4. Unroll sponges on a clean work surface. Spread evenly with jam and cream. Roll up sponges to enclose filling. Cut into 5cm lengths and dust with icing sugar or dessicated coconut goes well too.
5. Arrange jam rolls on a platter and serve with tea or coffee.

Dry Fruit Bread Rolls

These are absolutely wonderful sweet rolls - very rich and delicious! Be prepared - everyone you serve these rolls will want this recipe. The best part about making this dry-fruit roll recipe is that the dough can be mixed and the rolls filled, shaped, and frozen long before you want to bake it, as I make a dozen rolls for a event. The night before I need to bake them, I take them out of the freezer to thaw and rise. When I awake in the morning, I just bake. So easy to make and so rewarding!

Things you may need:

Butter 4tbsps
Mix dry fruits chopped ( almonds, walnuts and pistachios preferred ) 1/2 cup
Brown Sugar 1/2
Flour 250 grams
Castor sugar 1/2 cup
Salt 1 tsp
Instant Dry Yeast 11 gms
Baking Powder 1 tsp
Powdered Milk 1 tbsp
Warm water to knead


Preparation:

-Sift flour, milk powder, instant yeast and castor sugar. Mix well. Knead together by adding oil and water to make a soft dough. Rub very well. Grease dough and leave to rise for about 1 hour.

-Mix brown sugar and dry fruits together and melt the butter.
-Knead the dough to a rectangular flat bread, about 1/4 inch in thickness.
-Spread melted butter and brown sugar mix all over it and roll it inward carefully.
-Cut in small portions and flatten. Place in baking tray and leave to rise again for 30mins.
-Bake for 20mins on preheated oven at 200 degrees C.

You can serve these rolls with butter icing:

1 tbsps butter
2 tbsps cream
6 tbsps Icing Sugar

Mix all together and cook until sugar dissolves. Dip baked rolls and serve immediately!

Or you just can apply an egg wash before putting your rolls in the oven and sprinkle some brown seasome over it and bake. It will be a perfect choice for tea time snacks.

Do tell me how do you like it?

Have a nice day!!
