Gosh I needed a distraction yesterday so I decided to just try something easy that I had been thinking about for ages.
If you’ve followed my feed you’ll know that we’ve just finished our guava harvest from the tree in our back yard. And we were so inundated with Guavas that I’ve been making jam every week for the last 2 months. I feel like we really made the best out of this harvest and gave away bags of guavas to friends and YES! I made a LOT of GUAVA JAM.
SOOOO, I first experimented with a 2 ingredient dough, rolled it out, spread it with jam and the rest is history… all I can say is YUM!!!
Here’s how to make these tasty guava rolls.
GUAVA ROLLS
Ingredients
2 cups Self Raising Flour
1 ½ cups plain Yoghurt
Jam of choice - I used my homemade guava jam
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C.
Mix the self raising flour and yoghurt into a light and sticky dough.
Add extra flour to prevent sticking.
Spread it out on a floured tray and roll flat.
Spread the jam over the dough.
Roll the dough along its longest edge.
Cut into rolls about 8cm long (or whatever size you prefer)
Spray a baking tray with nonstick spray
Place your rolls on the tray and glaze with extra jam or yoghurt.
Bake at 200C for 15 minutes.
We enjoyed these egg-free treats and they all disappeared almost as fast as they were baked. You could easily double the recipe to make a more substantial batch.
I like to think they’re a twist on an apple danish which are one of my favourite things. I’m such a sucker for fruity pastries and now I can make my own at home!
I hope you enjoyed this super easy recipe.
These rolls with guava jam loos super, I never try it but seems a good jam
They were so tasty! You can get the guava jam recipe further down in my blogs.
I've never tried guava jam but I like guavas so assume I'd like it. Those pastries look great too; far be it for me to ignore the combination of jam and pastry baked in an oven. No can do. 🙄
I'd like to make some sensible comments about the recipe and process but I'm not much of a cook so instead I'll just say that I hope you're ok; referring to the needed distraction comment of course.
I also note your blankslate chopping board in the background. Great gift that! 😊
Ok I already said Good Night! But the distraction was just for the downer of our new restrictions. It’s just a mental thing because in reality it’s doesn’t change much for us at all. Just the weight of knowing that this all sucks.
On a high note; our former President was sentenced to 15 months in prison today for being contempt of court.
Fun and games in Africa. Never a dull moment.
Ah yeah, the restrictions. It's happening here too as the government stupidity runs rampant. If you need a pep up let me know, I'll tell you some jokes.
Warning: I am terrible at telling jokes. Like, the worst at it. Lol.
Good to see some of your
