Ingredients:
1.25 cups plain flour
1 tsp caster sugar
1 tsp instant yeast
½ cup warm water
Pinch of salt
½ tsp olive oil
½ cup vegemite
Method:
1. In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of flour, sugar, yeast and warm water. Mix with a wooden spoon and your hands, until a rough dough forms.
2. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave the dough in a warm place for 20 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 180°C.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and add the salt, oil and remaining 1/4 flour to the top. Knead until it is smooth and elastic.
4. Divide the dough in two and roll each portion out into a rectangle (they should be around the same size).
5. Spread the Vegemite all over one of the rectangles and top with the other layer of dough.
6. Cut the dough into eight even strips using a sharp knife.
7. Take each strip and twist it until it looks like a plait, and then roll it into a snail shell shape. Place each knot on a lined baking sheet.
8. Whisk the egg in a small bowl, and brush over the top of each knot.
9. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
