 Low FODMAP Easter Spiced Brioche Scrolls

Easter Spiced Brioche Scrolls (Low FODMAP)

Kath March 30, 2018

Happy Easter! 

I hope everyone is enjoying celebrating Easter/Passover/the long weekend! It’s about 30 degrees Celsius here in Sydney, so it kinda seems odd that it’s Easter and technically meant to be Autumn. I am very much looking forward to the weather cooling down and really getting back into the kitchen again. Summer was hot here this year, and it definitely kept me away from the kitchen after the necessities of cooking for Christmas were over. Slowly I am finding moments in the kitchen, mostly to prepare for the work week, but also gradually getting back into the habit of baking and cooking purely for the joy if it. 

This long weekend I plan to make my annual lot of hot cross buns and have my first foray into making matzo ball soup. I’m thinking these are the best dishes of the two religious holidays celebrated this weekend so it is only fitting to give it them both a go. I have tried Matzo ball soup only once before, so I have been looking through my cookbooks and comparing the recipes from the likes of Yotam Ottolenghi and the Monday Morning Cooking Club to get all the tips and advice possible! Here’s hoping it goes well!

But now on to the scrolls! 

 Low FODMAP Easter Spiced Hot Cross Buns

Low FODMAP Easter Spiced Hot Cross Buns

A couple of weeks ago I was generously sent some of The Healthy Baker’s Low FODMAP Plain Flour, so I decided that I would use that in my Easter baking and see how it goes. 

Since receiving this flour I have done a little research on the low FODMAP diet, and suffice to say the diet cuts out quite a few things across all food groups. 

The low FODMAP diet was developed by Monash University and aims to provide relief for those suffering IBS. Luckily the diet isn’t intended as a long term thing, rather a 6 or so week program to determine what high FODMAP foods someone may be reacting to. They  can then reintroduce other high FODMAP foods to their diet and continue to minimise those that still act as triggers. 

For these scrolls I have used a tried and tested brioche recipe so I could compare how they turned out using this new flour. And honestly, there is no comparison. The texture of the brioche is exactly the same as using regular plain flour. Which is great as it means everyone can enjoy all sorts of homemade baked goods without compromising on the quality of their bakes and not having to feel unwell after. I have tried to make these as hot cross bun inspired as possible by adding the same types of spices as I would to my hot cross buns. You can however use whatever combination you like, or in keeping with these being low FODMAP and for Easter, use dark chocolate instead. 

To make these scrolls Low FODMAP not only can you use The Healthy Baker’s flour but also substitute dairy milk for almond. I was also going to add dried fruit to the dough to make the scrolls even more like hot cross buns, but as dried fruit are high FODMAP I have left them out this time - so I guess these brioche scrolls can be like a better version of a fruitless hot cross bun for Easter! 

To get an idea about what other foods are low or high FODMAP check out the Monash University website which as some really good resources. 

 Easter Spiced Brioche Scrolls using The Healthy Baker's Low FODMAP Plain Flour

Easter Spiced Brioche Scrolls using The Healthy Baker's Low FODMAP Plain Flour

Ingredients for the Dough: 

250ml milk

10g dried yeast

75g caster sugar

2 eggs, beaten

485g Healthy Baker Low FODMAP Plain Flour, plus extra for dusting

75g unsalted butter, cubed and softened, plus extra for greasing

 

Ingredients for the Filling: 

85g unsalted butter, softened

120g panela sugar

1tsp ground cinnamon

1tsp mixed spice

1/2tsp ground ginger 

1/4tsp ground cardamom 

Pearl sugar*, optional 

 

Method: 

In a small saucepan warm the milk over low heat until lukewarm. Add the yeast, sugar and eggs and stir to combine. 

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, add the flour then the milk mixture and mix on a low speed until the ingredients are starting to combine and a dough is beginning to form. Increase the speed to medium-high for 5 minutes. Add the butter and mix on medium speed until it has been incorporated into the dough, and the dough is smooth and elastic. 

Use some butter to lightly grease a large bowl then place the dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to rise in a warm place for about 40 minutes until the dough has doubled in size. 

While the dough is rising prepare the spiced sugar for the filling by combining the panela sugar, cinnamon, mixed spice, ginger and cardamom in a small bowl. 

Once the dough has doubled in size, lightly flour your work surface and place the dough on top. Gently roll the dough into a rectangle (approx. 25 x 48 cm) allowing it to remain about 1 cm thick. 

Spread the softened butter over the dough then sprinkle over the spiced sugar mix. Roll the dough from the long edge to form a log, then cut into about 12 pieces. Line a large baking sheet with baking paper and place the cut scrolls on the sheet in rows leaving room in between each so they can rise. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and leave to rise again for about 30 minutes until the scrolls have doubled in size. 

While the scrolls are rising, pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. 

Once the scrolls have doubled in size, sprinkle with pearl sugar if you wish, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. 

Serve warm and if there are any leftovers freeze them in zip lock bags to enjoy later. 

 

*Pearl sugar (or nib sugar) does not melt at high temperatures and can be used to decorate baked goods. It can be found at specialty food shops.

I made Matzo Ball Soup! I have been wanting to make this for ages and I’ve finally ticked it off my list! Yesterday I spent a while in the kitchen making this soup and a batch of hot cross buns and now I think we will be well fed for the rest of the long weekend ❤️.

I am hoping to make some hot cross buns tomorrow, I can’t decide whether to stick to the recipe I usually use or try a new one? What do you think? .

Also, I posted the recipe for my Easter spiced brioche scrolls using @thehealthybaker Low FODMAP Plain Flour (see previous post) on the blog today. So if you are keen for some long weekend baking, go check it out - link in my profile. I hope everyone is having a good long weekend so far!

So I spent last Sunday making these Easter spiced brioche scrolls and while I think my scroll technique needs some work, they tasted so good. I used @thehealthybaker Low FODMAP Plain Flour for these and I am very happy to say it worked so well. I am hoping to share the recipe on the blog on Friday!

Oh hi there Instagram! It’s been a while hasn’t it?! I’d love to say I’ve been off relaxing, eating cake and reading cookbooks, but if I did I would be lying (except about the cake... there was in fact some cake at times). Instead I have been working, adjusting to new medication for my migraines and trying to slow down the general pace of life over here. I am slowly getting back into the kitchen and will hopefully pick up that camera a little more often too. I hope everyone has had a good start to 2018, here’s to more baking, cake and time to read cookbooks!

Just got home from a lovely dinner at Glass Brasserie at the Hilton (see more on my stories) and drove past some pretty epic Christmas lights/decorations on the way home! Tomorrow I will finish off my fruit mince tarts and make the Pavlova ready to top with cream and fruit on Christmas Day - not that I can really think about food right now, I am so full from that dinner! Though if you are still looking for Christmas dessert inspiration you can still get my eBook via the link in my profile. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁🍒

Currently on the train home from work, listening to Taylor’s new album accompanied by two punnets of red currants and some Little Big Dairy Co pouring cream from David Jones food hall. Oh and some more copper fairy lights from Kikki-K. Christmas spirit (or panic, I’m not sure) in full swing over here! 🙋🏼‍♀️.

This cake is my Christmas Gingerbread Bundt Cake, which red currants decorate beautifully. The recipe is in my eBook - link in my profile.

I have been keeping my eyes peeled for some of these white cherries lately. No luck yet, but fingers crossed I can find some soon! Also starting to freak out about how little time there is left before Christmas! So much to do so little time!. .

Today’s little harvest! The first of what looks like will be quite a few tomatoes from our 2 plants, a few edible flowers and a couple of sprigs of flowering thyme. What things do you have growing in your garden?

It’s full of my family’s favourite Christmas baked goods. There are also a couple of special heirloom recipes as well, including this Pavlova which is something Grandma made every year. My cousins and I would sneak into the kitchen and take little bits of it before Christmas lunch had even begun and, even though she is gone, having a Pav at Christmas means her presence will always be with us.
