Nutritional yeast is lower in fat and adds a cheesy flavor.

Add 80 grams of melted butter and 200 ml of milk to a bowl.

Add 1 sachet of instant yeast, 4 tablespoons of sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the bowl.

Crack in 1 egg and stir the mixture until combined.

Add 400 grams of all-purpose flour to the mixture and knead using a stand mixer with a hook attachment for 5-7 minutes.

Oil a bowl with approximately 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and place the dough in it, covering with cling film to proof for 1 hour.

Prepare the filling by mixing 100 grams of flour, 150 grams of light brown sugar, and 80 grams of soft butter until combined.

Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and place it on a working surface.

Shape the dough into a rectangle approximately 14 inches wide and 8-9 inches tall, then divide into 16 equal pieces.

Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it into a rectangle approximately 6-7 inches long.

Add a teaspoon of filling to each piece, roll it up, and pinch the ends to seal.

Coat each roll in breadcrumbs and place them in a baking tray with space between them.

Bake at 175 degrees Celsius for 15-20 minutes, checking for color and size.
