Soft and delicious these are the kind of scrolls you would call a comfort food. Flavoursome they are very hard to stop at just eating one. They went like hot buns here yesterday, which they are in a way – hot, yummy buttery buns with a twist.
Perfect for kids lunch box or after school snack.
Ingredients

1 ( 7g ) sachet dry active yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1/2 cup lukewarm milk ( full cream )

In a bowl mix melted butter with garlic and herbs.
Place dough on a lightly floured bench or board. Gently stretch using hands or roll with a rolling pin into a rectangular shape 40-45cm in length and 25-30cm in width.
Spread butter and herb mixture using a spoon or hands. Spread crumbled feta and sundried tomatoes over the top and gently roll into a log.
With a sharp knife cut the log into 10 equal in size pieces.
