Cheese and Vegemite Scrolls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups Self Raising Flour
  • 1/2 cup Whole meal Flour
  • 80 grams Butter
  • 2/3 cups Milk
  • 1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1 tbsp Vegemite or Marmite heaped
  • 1 tbsp Milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200°C.
  • In a medium bowl, combine both flours and butter.
  • Using your fingertips, rub the butter through the flours until you have a breadcrumb consistency, then add ¾ of the cheese combination and milk and work into a dough ball with your hands.
  • When these ingredients are combined, lightly flour your kitchen bench and gently push the dough out into a rectangle, approx 1 cm in depth.
  • Spread Vegemite evenly over the top of the dough and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Roll the dough into a long rope shape, rolling it away from you. When you have a rope of dough cut it into eight equal rounds and place them on a lined baking tray.
  • Brush with milk.
  • Bake for 20 minutes then remove from oven and cook on wire rack.

Notes

  • If you don’t have wholemeal flour then use all white, just pour the milk in gradually as you might not need it all.
  • With any dough, try and be as gentle as possible and kneed it only as much as it needs to prevent the dough being tough.
  • These freeze really well and will hold up in a lunch box rain, hail, and shine.
  • My three year-old loves to help spread and sprinkle these.
  • These are great at stopping afternoon tummy rumbles!

    Recipe says 2/4 cup of cheese is that correct? So 1/2 or was there a typo and it should be 3/4

      Apologies for the confusion. I have checked the recipe and it should be half a cup. We hope you enjoy the recipe.
