Three Cheese, Vegemite and Jalapeño Scrolls

Back

A savoury Aussie bake with soft, golden scrolls and a bold Vegemite, three-cheese and jalapeño filling. Baked close together in a Solidteknics baking pan or skillet, they pull apart straight from the pan. Serve them as a snack, for lunch or as party food.

Prep: 30 mins active | Proving: 1.5–2 hrs 45 mins | Cook: 18–22 mins | Total: about 3 hrs | Makes: 12 scrolls

Ingredients

For the dough

  • 500g bakers' flour
  • 310ml lukewarm water
  • 7g (1 sachet) dry yeast
  • 6g sugar
  • 6g salt
  • 20g canola or olive oil

For the filling

  • 2–3 tbsp Vegemite
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • 2–3 jalapeños (pickled or fresh), thinly sliced
  • Extra cheese for topping

Equipment

  • Solidteknics baking pan or skillet – the scrolls prove and bake together in the pan, then pull apart to serve
  • Large mixing bowl, plus an oiled bowl for proving
  • Stand mixer with dough hook (optional)
  • Rolling pin
  • Sharp knife or unflavoured dental floss (for cutting)

Method

1. Activate the yeast

Combine warm water, yeast and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk and let sit for 10–15 minutes until foamy.

2. Mix and knead

Add flour, salt and oil. Mix then knead for 8–10 minutes by hand (or 7–9 minutes with a dough hook) until smooth and elastic. The dough should pass the window pane test.

3. First prove

Place in an oiled bowl, cover and prove in a warm place for 1–2 hours until doubled in size.

4. Roll out the the dough

Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 40x30cm.

5. Add the filling

Spread Vegemite evenly over the surface (use more or less to taste). Scatter the three cheeses generously over the top, then distribute the jalapeño slices evenly.

6. Roll and cut

Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log. Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut into 12 equal rounds.

7. Second prove in the pan

Place rounds cut-side up in a greased or lined Solidteknics baking pan or skillet, leaving a little space between each. Cover and prove for 30–45 minutes until puffed.

8. Bake

Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Top scrolls with extra cheese and bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown.

9. Pull apart and serve

Allow to cool briefly in the pan, then pull apart and serve warm.

 


Tips

  • For extra heat, add a pinch of chilli flakes to the filling.
  • Warm the Vegemite slightly. A few seconds in the microwave makes it much easier to spread thinly and evenly without tearing the dough.
