These homemade Vegemite and Cheese Scrolls are just like the ones you buy at Baker’s Delight – but even better! They are yeast free, so you can have them ready to enjoy in less than an hour and both regular and Thermomix instructions are included.
This recipe requires just a few ingredients to put together, and as these scrolls are yeast free, you will be enjoying them in no time at all.
They are great for lunchboxes and can also be frozen and stored in the freezer for up to two months.
If you are making these scrolls for younger children and want smaller portion sizes, you can roll the dough into a larger rectangle and cut the scrolls into smaller pieces.
Ingredients
- Self-raising flour – this is essential, if you use plain flour the scrolls will not rise.
- Salt
- Butter – I use unsalted butter for this recipe.
- Milk – either full cream or skim milk can be used.
- Vegemite – you will need approximately ¼ of a cup.
- Cheese – I used grated tasty cheese in the scrolls pictured. You can use Colby, mozzarella or a combination of cheeses if you prefer.
Steps for Making Homemade Vegemite and Cheese Scrolls:
It really is easy to put these scrolls together, please note you will find the both regular and Thermomix methods in the recipe card below.
Step 1. Combine the self-raising flour, salt and butter until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.
Step 2. Add the milk and combine before kneading until smooth.
Step 3. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle.
Step 4. Cover with Vegemite and grated cheese.
Step 5. Roll the dough lengthways to enclose. Slice into pieces.
Step 6. Place the scrolls onto lined baking tray. You can sprinkle the scrolls with extra cheese if you wish.
Step 7 Bake scrolls until golden and the cheese has melted.
Recipe Hints and Tips
- It is essential to use self-raising flour for the recipe – without it the scrolls will not rise.
- Bring the Vegemite to room temperature before spreading over the dough. Vegemite straight from the fridge will be difficult to spread and may rip the dough.
- To assist in cutting scrolls evenly, I like to use a ThermoMat which has measurements on the edge. I also prefer to slice the roll of dough in half and then evenly slice the remaining pieces.
- Any type of cheese can be used in these scrolls, I used Tasty Cheese in the scrolls pictured but Mozzarella and Colby are delicious alternatives.
- Following the instructions in the recipe card below, this recipe will make 12 Cheese and Vegemite Scrolls, however if you want to make more (smaller scrolls) then simply roll the dough into a thinner rectangle and cut the scrolls into small pieces. I have been able to make up to 16 ‘mini scrolls doing this.
- Once baked, these scrolls can be stored in an airtight container and are best consumed within 4 – 5 days.
- Baked scrolls can be frozen for up to two months.

Thanks Eva xx
Bec @ The Plumbette
I made the pizza scrolls but they were more doughy because I didn’t roll the dough into a rectangle! Will have to give it another go and try these. My girls love vegemite. X
laurenm83
They sound yummy Bec, we love pizza scrolls here too.
iSophie
I make a similar version of these for my eldest son (the only one of 5 that likes vegemite!) and he loves them! #teamIBOT
laurenm83
Kids that don’t like vegemite – unheard of!! 😉
mummywifeme
I so want to try these, but dough scares me a little. I think I’m going to have to take the big leap and try them this week. I know they’ll be a hit here too if I give them a go. I’m glad you had a chance to catch up with your friend. I know how hard it can be to find the time. Good friends understand when you’re busy.
laurenm83
Thanks Renee, you’re right.
You will have to try these – you will nail them!
Tash @ Gift Grapevine
These look fantastic. My tornadoes love cheeseymite scrolls and I hate to think how much money I have spent at Bakers Delight over the last few years. Will be giving these a go – thanks!
laurenm83
Haha, these will certainly save you some money!
Nerida
Thankyou for another yummy recipe! And although I wish we didn’t go through it, I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who has to child wrangle and deal with melt downs when catching up with friends! Sometimes I miss just sitting there and talking!
laurenm83
Sitting and talking – what’s this strange and unfamiliar scenario you are talking about 😉 I just keep telling myself it will get easier – I hope!
Nerida
I tell myself the same thing…or get hubby to look after C and go out child free
Natalie @ Our Parallel Connection
These are are great, easy and filling for the kids. My 11yr old is growing at the moment and I can’t seem to fill him up.. so these are perfect and stops him craving for junk food.
laurenm83
Sounds perfect Natalie. My boys are only 3 and almost 2 and I’m already worried about how I’m going to keep up with their appetites when they are older!
