Why you will love this recipe:
For a simple lunchbox recipe, you can’t go wrong with these yeast free Ham, Cheese and Mustard Scrolls. The dough recipe for these scrolls is the same one that I use for our Vegemite and Cheese Scrolls, Hawaiian Pizza Scrolls and of course our favourite sweet scrolls – Cinnamon Scrolls. It’s certainly not a traditional dough recipe, but it’s easy to work, you can add practically whatever scroll filling you like, and best of all, the kids love it!
Ham Cheese and Mustard Scrolls Ingredients:
- Self-raising flour – you can use plain flour and 2 teaspoons instead of self-raising flour.
- Mustard – I like to use seeded mustard however you can use any variety.
- Ham – I often use the leftover ham from school lunches to make these scrolls, you can also use shaved, shredded or sliced ham.
How to Make these Scrolls:
To make these scrolls you will need to:
- Combine the ingredients for the dough and then lightly knead.
- Roll out the dough into rectangle.
- Add the filling ingredients.
- Roll to enclose the filling.
- Slice into pieces and place onto a baking tray.
- Cook the scrolls until they are golden and cooked through.
My Tips for Making Ham Cheese and Mustard Scrolls:
- When making these Ham, Cheese and Mustard Scrolls, if you are finding your dough is quite soft to work with (which can happen if it’s quite warm when you are putting these scrolls together), just pop it into the fridge for 20 minutes or so to chill and it will become firmer and easier to work with.
- I also recommend lightly dusting the bench with flour before rolling this dough out.
- Once cooked, these scrolls can be frozen for up to two months, just pop them into a freezer safe container.
- If you are making these Ham, Cheese and Mustard Scrolls for adults (or older kids) you can also add an extra tablespoon or two of seeded mustard to give them a little extra kick, however for the kids, I’d suggest sticking to three tablespoons.

Hi Lauren
How do you go about reheating the frozen scrolls?
Thanks.
Lauren Matheson
Hi, I would just pop them into the oven at 180 degrees celisus for 8 – 10 minutes. To stop them from browning too much you could cover with foil.
Sarah
Is this baking temp celsius? It seems awfully low, but I’m not every experienced with fan-forced cooking.
Lauren Matheson
Hi Sarah, yes it’s in celsius 🙂
Frank
Can you use ready pastry from supermarket and if so what pastry do you buy.
Lauren Matheson
Hi Frank, you can use ready made pastry, I would use puff pastry 🙂
