Why you will love this recipe:

These Ham and Cheese Scrolls are really easy to make and use the same base dough recipe as my Hawaiian Pizza Scrolls and Vegemite and Cheese Scrolls and my favourite part of this recipe is that you don’t need to use any yeast when making this dough.

• Yeast free – this dough can be made within five minutes.
• Versatile – you can makes these scrolls larger or smaller if you wish.
• Lunchbox snack – the kids will love these scrolls in their lunchboxes.
• Freezer friendly – make these scrolls in advance and then store in the freezer until needed.

Ingredients:

• Self-raising flour – you can make your own by using plain flour and adding 2 teaspoons of baking powder.
• Ham – you can use any type of ham for this recipe.
• Mustard – to give these Ham and Cheese Scrolls a little extra kick, I like to add a couple of tablespoons of seeded mustard, however you can certainly leave this out if you prefer.
• Cheese – I used tasty (cheddar cheese) but you can also use mozzarella if you wish.

How to Make Ham and Cheese Scrolls

Making this scroll recipe really is simple:

1. Combine the flour, butter and salt.
2. Add the milk and combine before lightly kneading.
3. Roll out the dough and add the butter and mustard (if using)
4. Add the ham and cheese.
5. Starting from the long end, roll the dough to enclose.
6. Cut into pieces and place onto your baking tray.
7. Bake until golden.

Tips for Making Ham and Cheese Scrolls

• You can use tasty/cheddar cheese or mozzarella for this recipe.
• When adding the filling, leave a 2cm gap from the edge of the dough as this will ensure the filling ingredients don’t spill out when you are trying to roll the dough.
• To roll, start from the long edge furtherest away from you and roll towards you.
• If you find the dough is soft (this can happen if you are making these scrolls in a warm environment), pop the dough log into the fridge for 20 minutes to chill before cutting.
• For best results, use a sharp serrated knife to cut your scrolls.
• I also like to place the scrolls quite close together on the baking tray so that they rise up and not out when baking.
• I prefer to store these scrolls in the fridge and then bring to room temperature to enjoy.
• These scrolls can be frozen for up to three months.
