Serves:

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups self-raising flour
• ½ cup wholemeal flour

Cheese and vegemite scrolls recipe

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!
