Cheese Twists anyone??

Knonie

ah now I reckon I could do that with the mustard instead of marmite couldn't I?!! Thanks Knithryn I think you may well have cracked that nut...

My god if these are the ones I may well be able to get my dh to do just about anything:eek: :rotfl:

Needless to say I'm off to the kitchen lickety split!!! Obviously I'll report back with my findings

If you have a BM try making a croissant dough then making them. I suspect they're made with Gruyere cheese and A watered down, marmite/vegemite spread on thinly then the cheese sprinkled on top then sliced and twisted before baking. If you don't have a BM and cant be faffed making Croissant Dough by hand you can buy the ready made stuff in the chiller section, don't know how the price compares but it might be wotrth a try. You're right though, they are very nomnomnom!

Hi all - apologies for not getting back to you but life went and did its thing and got in the way.. any how I have tried the above but have used the rolling out/folding method that was in knithryn's recipe as I was sure that croissant dough would be right... however its turned out too bready so will have a go with knithryn's full recipe next time... It has to be said that those made aren't bad and as we don't like waste they'll all be consumed:cool:

Will keep you posted!! Anyone else tried to make them in my absence?

AHHHHHHHH I know the answer!!!!!
I picked up a breadmaking book last week and it showed how to make these!!!!
They call them cheese and marmite twists, and the quantities are for a 2 1/2 lb breadmaker so you may need to adjust it.
Ingredients
1 cup tepid water
1 tablesp skimmed milk powder
2 tablesp olive oil
1 teasp salt
3 cups white bread flour
1 teasp yeast

filling needs
1 tablesp Marmite mixed with 1 tsp water
125 g grated cheese
1 egg beaten

Put the main ingredients in that order int breadmaker and set to DOUGH.
Transfer to lightly floured surface and knead for 2 - 3mins
Roll out into rectangle approx 51 x 63 cm.
Spread the marmite over half the dough, then sprinkle on the cheese over the marmite.
Lightly brush the remaining dough with egg and fold this over the cheese and marmite section.
Using the rolling pin press down well to seal the edges,
Using a sharp knife cut the dough into think strips.
Put the strips on a well greased tray, twisting as you go.
Cover with lightly oiled clingfilm and leave to prove for 45 mins,
Preheat oven to 200 degrees C.
When dough is almost twice its orginal size, bake for 15 - 20 mins or until twists are golden and crisp. Cool on a wire rack.

I haven't tried this yet, but as I was becoming addicted to the cheesy twists I ended up avoiding Asda. Let me know if you do these and how it goes.

I made these this afternoon...my, they are gorgeous! The recipe above, made loads...3 baking tray-fuls. Should keep us going all week. I added a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dough mix, to give an extra bite. Thanks to Knithryn for the recipe.

Sorry to bump this old thread, I spotted the box in Tesco and they are made by this company http://www.bakehouse.co.uk/

Have found this description All butter pastry twist with Mature Cheddar and Emmental cheese seasoned with Dijon Mustard. Frozen, ready to bake. From here http://www.countrychoice.co.uk/products.aspx?pid=54&id=0


May try the recipe knithryn posted. Although not sure about the marmite!

I love love love this recipe from Lorraine Pascale.

Not the same as the Tesco ones but very very tasty!

I know how you OS'lers love a puzzle (thinking Tiger Bread topping here) so thought I'd see if anyone else has solved this one...

Has anyone else come across the yummy cheese twist pastries that Tescos, Co-op & Somerfield sell? They're usually with the fresh bread rolls, croissants, cakes etc... made from puff pastry which is plaited with cheese melted over the top and are about an inch, inch & half wide and approx 8inch long, costing around 70p each.

Also from what I and dh's tastebuds have detected, they have a slither of mustard in the middle which is probably to enhance the cheese flavour..

I have tried to make them in various different ways but just can't seem to get them right. They're not like cheese straws as those are crispy and these are soft and very VERY moreish hence the reason why I'm desperate to find a recipe as you definitely need more than one - dh likes to treat us to 3 each with a bottle of wine but at over £4 for 6 :eek: need I say more..

I prefer Sainsbury's cheese twists to Co op's!

I make something similar with the leftover puff pastry if I've made sausage rolls. I roll out a few strips of pastry, brush the surface with beaten egg, spread over marmite or mustard (or some of each) and sprinkle with grated cheese. I don't bother with twisting, just fold over lengthwise, pinch edges together and turn so the the edges are at the top. Brush with egg and sprinkle more cheese on the top. Bake in hot oven for about 20 mins, give or take.
70p? they are 89p round here. It used to be our Saturday morning treat. It's not now, unless I've made some.

Being a dullard!! How much is a cup of flour etc? in grams - would like to make these but a little confused on cuppage!! :rotfl:
