Penriths Favourite Meal: Vegemite and Cheese Scrolls Recipe

Makes: 12 scrolls
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15–20 minutes

Ingredients:
2 cups self-raising flour
1 cup plain Greek yoghurt (or milk if preferred)
1–2 tablespoons Vegemite (to taste)
1 ½ cups grated cheese (cheddar or tasty cheese works best)
A pinch of salt (optional)
1 tablespoon butter (for spreading, optional)

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Make the dough:
    • In a large bowl, mix the self-raising flour and yoghurt together until a soft dough forms.
    • Lightly flour your bench and knead the dough for about 1–2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Roll it out:
    • Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1 cm thick.
  4. Add the fillings:
    • Spread Vegemite evenly over the dough (use less for a milder taste).
  5. Sprinkle grated cheese generously over the top.
  6. Roll and slice:
    • Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log.
    • Slice into 12 even pieces and place them flat on the baking tray.
  7. Bake:
    • Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
  8. Serve:
    • Let them cool slightly before serving. Perfect warm or cold for morning tea or lunch!

Chef’s Tip: Add a sprinkle of parmesan or a touch of garlic butter before baking for an extra flavour boost. You can also mix in some finely grated carrot or zucchini for hidden veggies!
