Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: British
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 200g self-raising flour
  2. 100g vegan margarine
  3. 50g caster sugar
  4. 100ml plant-based milk
  5. 150g jam of choice

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace by lining a baking tray with parchment paper and preheating the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift the self-raising flour to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth texture.
  3. Add the caster sugar to the flour and mix thoroughly to distribute evenly.
  4. Cut the cold vegan margarine into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips to rub the margarine into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  5. Gradually pour in the plant-based milk, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  6. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour to prevent sticking.
  7. Transfer the dough onto the floured surface and gently roll it out into a rectangular shape, approximately 30cm x 20cm, maintaining an even thickness of about 1cm.
  8. Spread the jam evenly across the surface of the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent jam from leaking during rolling.
  9. Carefully roll the dough from the long side, creating a Swiss roll-like shape, ensuring the jam is enclosed within the dough.
  10. Gently transfer the rolled dough onto the prepared baking tray, placing it seam-side down.
  11. Optional: Brush the top of the roll with a little extra plant-based milk to help achieve a golden finish.
  12. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the roly poly is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  13. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  14. Slice and serve warm, optionally accompanied by vegan custard or additional jam.

Tips

  1. Temperature Matters: Ensure your vegan margarine is cold when rubbing into the flour for the flakiest texture.
  2. Jam Selection: Choose a high-quality jam with intense fruit flavor. Raspberry, strawberry, or mixed berry work wonderfully.
  3. Rolling Technique: Be gentle when rolling to prevent the dough from tearing and ensure an even jam distribution.
  4. Prevent Soggy Bottom: Make sure your baking tray is preheated and lined with parchment paper for a crisp base.
  5. Milk Brush Magic: The optional plant-based milk brush gives your roly poly a beautiful golden-brown finish.
  6. Cooling is Crucial: Let the dessert rest for 10 minutes after baking to help it set and make slicing easier.
  7. Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with vegan custard or a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent experience.
