Pizza Scroll Ingredients
Please note you will find the full list of ingredients in the recipe card below.
Yeast Free Scroll Dough Ingredients
To make the yeast free pizza scroll dough, you will just need four simple ingredients: Self-raising flour, butter, salt and milk. It is important to use self-raising and not plain flour for this recipe, if using plain flour your scrolls will not rise.
I also recommend using butter that has come straight from the fridge as it will combine more easily with the flour and salt.
Pizza Scroll Filling Ingredients
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
Step 1. Using either your fingertips or a Thermomix, combine the chilled butter with the self-raising flour and salt until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Step 2. Add the milk and knead until a dough forms.
Step 3. Transfer the dough to bench top and roll into a ball.
Step 4. Roll the dough into a 30 x 40cm rectangle.
Step 5. Top with Pizza Sauce, ham, pineapple and cheese.
Step 6. Roll the dough into a log to enclose the filling.
Step 7. Slice the dough into 12 equal pieces, approximately 3cm wide.
Step 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.
