Pizza Scroll Ingredients
Please note you will find the full list of ingredients in the recipe card below.
- Self-raising flour
- Butter
- Salt
- Milk
As I mentioned earlier, you really can use whatever ingredients you like when making this recipe, here are a few of my ingredient tips:
- Cheese – I use either mozzarella or tasty cheese when making this recipe. You can also use a combination of both if you prefer.
- Pizza Sauce – you can use store bought or homemade.
- Ham – I also use shaved ham for the recipe, however you can use shredded ham, bacon pieces, salami or even leftover roast chicken.
How to Make Pizza Scrolls
- Using either your fingertips or a Thermomix, combine the chilled butter with the self-raising flour and salt until it resembles breadcrumbs.
2. Add the milk and knead until a dough forms.
3. Transfer the dough to bench top and roll into a ball.
4. Roll the dough into a 30 x 40cm rectangle.
5. Top with Pizza Sauce, ham, pineapple and cheese.
6. Roll the dough into a log to enclose the filling.
7. Slice the dough into 12 equal pieces, approximately 3cm wide.
8. Place onto prepared baking tray and cook until golden.
Tips for Making Pizza Scrolls:
- You can use tasty/cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella if you prefer.
- When adding the Pizza Sauce and filling, leave a 2cm gap from the edge of the dough as this will ensure the filling ingredients don’t spill out the ends when you are trying to roll the dough.
- When rolling, start from the edge furtherest away from you and roll forwards.
- If making these Pizza Scrolls in a warmer climate, the dough can become soft. Place it into the fridge for 20 minutes to cool down and firm before slicing into pieces.
- For best results, use a sharp serrated knife to cut your scrolls.
- I recommend placing the scrolls quite close together on the baking tray (almost touching) so that they rise up and not out when baking.
- To make smaller scrolls, roll the dough into a larger rectangle. Please note this will impact the cooking time.
- Store cooked scrolls in the fridge and enjoy within 5 days. Both uncooked and cooked scrolls can be frozen for two months.
Yes you sure can! You can pop them into the microwave to cook for 30 second spurts or place in your Air Fryer and cook for 3 minutes at 190 degrees.
Yes! These Pizza Scrolls can be frozen for up to 3 months. I place frozen Pizza Scrolls directly into my kids lunch boxes and they thaw by the time they are ready to eat them.
Follow my recipe below up to step 7 and then place the Pizza Scrolls into the basket of your Air Fryer and cook for 7 – 9 minutes at 190 degrees. The time it takes to cook your scrolls will depend on the brand of your Air Fryer
