My parents anniversary is coming up and we always like to give them something new for breakfast each year. You can substitute the filling for what you like, chicken, cheese, or chocolate... i used mince meat.

Steps

1

Mix the dry ingredients
2

Then add in the wet - butter, oil, egg, excluding the milk.
3

Knead the dough whilst adding the milk bit by bit till you get a pliable dough, soft to the tough. Knead for 8 - 10mins.
4

Grease a bowl lightly with butter/oil and on top of the dough and set it aside to rise.
5

Divide dough into 5 sections and roll each one into an oval shape, spread butter and add in your filling on one side.
6

Cut strips about a third on the opposite side where you have the filling on the longer side. I always insist on keenness and accuracy when doing this just like with the chicken loaf (see my other recipe). Then roll it in and tuck it well.
7

Pinch the ends so they do not uncurl during baking. repeat for the rest and placed on a greased/lined tray. Cover and let it rise for a few mins.
8

Preheat oven to 180 and brush the remaining egg over them and spread some sesame seeds. Bake for 18 - 20mins or until golden brown.
9

Remove and brush some butter on top and cover with a kitchen towel to retain their softness as they cool. Ready to serve!
