• milk, warm120 ml
• egg1 large
• butter, softened60 g
• sugar15 g
• salt1 tsp
• roasted garlic cloves, mashed6 cloves
• sweet corn kernels120 g
• smoked paprika1 tsp
• cream cheese70 g
• spring onion, finely sliced2

Method

1. 1Mix warm milk, yeast, and sugar, then add bread flour, egg, and salt; knead until a rough dough forms.
2. 2Work in softened butter gradually and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, then cover and rise until doubled.
3. 3Stir roasted garlic, corn, smoked paprika, cream cheese, and spring onion into a spreadable filling.
4. 4Roll the dough into a rectangle, spread the filling evenly, and roll up from the long side into a tight log.
5. 5Slice into 8 spirals and place cut-side up in a lined pan, then proof until puffy.
6. 6Bake at 190°C for 22-26 minutes until golden and cooked through.
7. 7Cool briefly before serving warm.

Tips

• If the dough feels sticky, resist adding too much flour; a longer knead will make it smoother.
• Roast the garlic until very soft and sweet for a rounder flavor.
• These are best warm, but you can refresh them in the oven for 5 minutes the next day.
