Equipment

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients together.
  2. Using a mixer with a dough hook, place the flour, butter and a splash of milk into the bowl and mix, gradually adding milk until you have pliable dough. Roll out on a floured bench into a 20cm x 30 cm rectangle.
  3. Sprinkle cooked bacon and cheese on top.
  4. Starting at the short edge, roll into a log, taking care not to tear the dough as you roll.

  6. Place a clean, dry tea towel under the lid of the slow cooker and cook on high for 2 hours or until the dough is cooked through and the cheese is melted.

Notes

Tip
You don’t need a mixer to make this dough. It is easily made by hand and doesn’t take long.
Tip
I added a little milk at a time to control the pliability of the dough.
Tip
To cook the bacon I just diced it up and put it in the microwave on high for 5 minutes and drained off the moisture and fat.
Variation
I used mozzarella in this recipe but you could also use a pizza blend cheese for extra flavour.
Variation
This dough can be used for all sorts of scrolls like cheese and Vegemite, apple and cinnamon, pizza style or even Nutella.
