Ingredients

5.5 cups self-raising white flour (use wholemeal if you wish)

2 tbs dried yeast, (2 x 7g sachet)

4 tbs caster sugar

100 g Weight Watchers Canola Spread (use regular butter if you wish)

1 cup skim milk, warmed (again, use regular milk if you wish)

1 cup buttermilk*

*buttermilk substitute can be 'made' at home by putting 1 tb white vinegar in a 1 cup measuring cup and filling with regular milk. Let sit for 5 mins then use in your recipe.

Method:

Put flour, sugar and yeast in a bowl and stir, make a well in the centre.

Heat your milk in the microwave until warm, and melt your butter/margarine/spread.

Add milks that and the butter into the well and stir in until well combined.

Put on kitchen bench and knead for 10 minutes or until the dough has an elastic consistency. (I only needed to do it for about 4-5 mins)

Put in clean glass bowl, cover with glad wrap and sit in a warm place (I put mine on outdoor table in winter sun) for about an hour or until it doubles in size.

Preheat oven to 200deg C.

Roll out your dough to a long oblong shape. Mine was about 40cm x 10cm. Position lengthwise and ensure it's floured underneath.

Put your filling on the bottom part of dough, leaving 2 inches at the top.

When your filling is done, roll from the bottom and slightly wet the top 2 inches to help seal the roll.

Cut into 10 pieces (serrated knife works best) and place on greased baking tray about 1cm apart in 2 rows

Bake for about 15 mins or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before separating.
