Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

3 ½ cups (450g) bread flour
2 ¼ tsp (7g) instant yeast
1 cup (250ml) warm milk
2 tbsp (30g) sugar
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp (45g) butter, softened

For the Filling:

2 tbsp (40g) Vegemite
2 tbsp (30g) salted butter, melted
2 cups (200g) shredded cheese (Cheddar, Colby, or Monterey Jack)

For the Topping:

½ cup (50g) extra shredded cheese

Instructions

Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm milk and softened butter, then mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead & First Rise: Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Roll & Fill: Punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle (about 12×18 inches). Spread melted butter and Vegemite evenly over the surface, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Shape & Cut: Roll the dough tightly into a log, then slice into 12 equal scrolls using a sharp knife. Arrange them on a parchment-lined baking tray.
Second Rise: Cover the scrolls and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Sprinkle extra cheese on top and bake for 25 minutes. Increase the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for another 10 minutes until golden.
Cool & Serve: Let the scrolls cool slightly before enjoying them warm and cheesy!

Notes

If you’re new to Vegemite, start with a thinner layer and adjust to taste.
For an extra crisp topping, broil the scrolls for the last 2 minutes of baking.
These scrolls freeze well! Wrap individually and store for up to 3 months.
Reheat frozen scrolls in an oven at 350°F (180°C) for 10 minutes.
