That is an unapologetic copycat recipe of the Cheesymite Scrolls from Bakers Delight, a Vegemite and cheese roll that’s nearly as true-blue-Aussie as you may get! With pillowy mushy white bread, this may be made with a stand mixer, meals processor, or hand.
Selfmade Cheesymite Scrolls!
I’m hopelessly and shamelessly besotted with Bakers Delight Cheesymite Scrolls. I like them a lot, I’ll even get the imitation ones from grocery shops within the occasion of an emergency. They aren’t pretty much as good, however they’re method cheaper, and I nonetheless take pleasure in them. As a result of even a mediocre Cheesymite Scroll is an effective!
So why make them at residence, if the Bakers Delight ones are so nice? As a result of:
-
You’ll save a bundle. $12.50 to make a dozen in comparison with $54 to purchase (they’re $4.50 every today!); and
-
Selfmade is tastier as a result of they’re made with butter (Bakers Delight makes use of flavourless oil). And I exploit extra cheese. (Indeniable assertion of truth, proper there!).
They maintain for days, freeze completely, and the dough is so pleasant to work with and forgiving to make, it’ll shock you.
However earlier than I proceed, let me introduce Cheesymite Scrolls to non-Aussies studying this!
Inform me about Cheesymite Scrolls!
Cheesymite Scrolls are a beloved Aussie deal with, identified by numerous names together with Cheese & Vegemite Scrolls or Vegemite Scrolls. These mushy white rolls function Vegemite and cheese baked in a scroll form.
Vegemite is taken into account by non-Aussies to be an acquired style (we don’t perceive, we’re raised loving it). It’s a salty, almost-black unfold created from yeast extract unfold with an intense flavour so it’s unfold sparingly on bread and crackers. Whereas it’s in comparison with Promite, marmite and bovril, Aussies discover them inferior, milder-tasting variations of our beloved Vegemite! (We’re complete Vegemite snobs 😇).
Whereas you could find Vegemite and cheese scrolls at suburban bakeries and grocery shops today, Bakers Delight (a sequence bakery) is known for its Cheesymite Scrolls. It’s my default meals to eat-on-the-run after I’m in a buying centre. Frivolously warmed, 20 seconds within the microwave (sure, they’ll do it without spending a dime!).
However hand on coronary heart – this selfmade variations is best. Higher flavour. Higher texture. And soooo less expensive to make!
Components for Cheesymite Scrolls
Along with Vegemite, right here’s every thing else it’s essential to make selfmade Cheesymite Scrolls.
Dough
-
Bread flour – Such a bread has greater protein that common plain flour (all-purpose flour) which supplies bread a greater “stretchy” texture once you rip it aside along with your palms, moderately than breaking simply like muffins. You could find bread flour within the baking aisle at grocery shops. It does value a little bit greater than common flour however if you need actually good Cheesymite Scrolls, it’s value getting.
However don’t make a particular journey to the grocery retailer should you don’t have it. That is completely value making with plain flour.
-
On the spot yeast – Also referred to as “fast rise yeast”, that is the kind of yeast that may be combined straight into dough with out having to undergo the standard steps of foaming in heat water or milk first. It’s offered in canisters or packets moderately than small particular person sachets. Retailer it within the fridge as soon as opened to maintain it recent. If you’re frightened your yeast is inactive, see the FAQ part under for take a look at whether it is nonetheless alive.
-
Milk – Full fats or low fats works wonderful right here. Makes the bread softer than utilizing water. I haven’t tried non-dairy. To be trustworthy, yeast-based recipes are the kind of factor I’d’n’t take a look at out utilizing non-dairy milks.
Heat – The milk must be heat to make a pleasant, cosy atmosphere to let the yeast work its magic to make the dough rise. It must be heat however not scorching else it’ll kill the yeast (yeast dies at 55° C–60°C (130° F—140° F). If you wish to get technical, purpose for 35-40°C/95-104°F which I describe as bathtub heat (ie you’d fortunately sink in a bubble bathtub at this temperature!). I microwave the milk for 1 minute on excessive and it’s good.
-
Sugar – Only a smidge which helps feed the yeast to activate it a bit.
-
Salt – You want salt in bread, else it’s flavourless! Use cooking salt / kosher salt (UK: coarse grain salt). If utilizing desk salt which is way finer, halve the amount.
FLAVOURINGS
-
Vegemite wants no introduction! As per above. 🙂 There isn’t a substitute. Sorry! (Promite, marmite and bovril look however don’t style the identical and I haven’t tried these scrolls with them).
-
Cheese – In principle you should utilize any melting cheese you need, although I discovered some work higher than others. Colby works greatest for my part, for flavour, the way it melts and crusts on the highest of the scroll. Tasty cheese (a quite common Australian cheese much like cheddar) was my final favorite. It simply didn’t soften properly on the floor, it obtained too cruddy and break up. Cheddar labored nicely, as did Financial Jack. A pointy cheddar would add a stack of flavour!
Retailer purchased pre-shredded cheese labored surprisingly nicely (Devondale 3 cheese mix – colby, mozzarella and parmesan – is my favorite), except tasty cheese (actually not a fan for this recipe!).
Mozzarella doesn’t have sufficient flavour so give it a miss for this recipe.
-
Salted desk butter – For spreading onto the dough. Simply no matter butter you unfold in your morning toast!
make Cheesymite Scrolls
A stand mixer or meals processor will make the dough kneading half a breeze, although you’ll be able to all the time knead by hand. You’ll additionally love how forgiving the dough is and the way pleasant it’s. See the FAQ for all of the situations (and hiccups) I went by means of to place this recipe by means of it’s paces earlier than I revealed it!
1. Make the SOFT WHITE bread dough
-
Combine dry – Put the flour, salt and yeast within the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or a meals processor (common steel S blade or dough blade each work). Give it a quick combine to mix the substances.
-
Heat milk – Add the nice and cozy milk (see Components part above for what I imply by “heat”). Then combine on low pace till the dough comes collectively and you may now not see flour.
-
Knead 5 minutes -As soon as the combination comes collectively right into a dough, combine on medium pace for five minutes or till the dough turns into clean. The dough ought to naturally wrap across the dough hook of the stand-mixer, although if it doesn’t, simply cease and wrap it across the hook then maintain going. Utilizing a decrease pace helps too, then you’ll be able to enhance the pace to medium partway by means of.
💡 What the dough is like – This can be a pleasant dough that’s simple to work with. It’s mushy and pliable, really easy to knead nevertheless it received’t persist with your palms once you deal with it (see video). It’s additionally simple to roll out, it received’t maintain shrinking again. It received’t persist with the counter, you’ll be able to decide it up and deal with it simply with out tearing. Not all doughs are this pleasant!
-
inform the dough is prepared – Maintain the dough in a ball in your palms. Whenever you stretch the floor of the dough, it received’t break. Should you do that earlier than kneading, the floor of the ball of dough breaks.
💡 Troubleshooting – Should you measured out the substances precisely, your dough ought to look similar to mine! However after a few minutes of kneading, in case your dough is too dry, simply add 1 tablespoon of heat milk at a time till it seems to be like mine. Alternatively, if yours is just too sticky, add a little bit of flour at a time. However don’t rush this, wait till you may have kneaded for a few minutes as doughs are likely to turn out to be much less sticky the longer you knead them. Additionally, attempt to minimise the flour added as drier dough = much less mushy bread.
2. Rise #1
-
Rise #1 (1.5 hours) – Put the ball of dough again into the bowl and canopy with cling wrap. Put the bowl in a heat place and let it rise for 1 1/2 hours or till it doubles in dimension. “Heat place” means someplace that’s not less than 25°C/77°F. The hotter it’s, the sooner the dough will rise.
-
Submit rise – That is what it seems to be like, submit rise #1.
💡Dryer trick – Run an empty dryer for five minutes then put the bowl inside it and shut the door. On the spot draught-free heat dough-rising atmosphere. (Don’t flip it on!).
⚠️ Don’t let the dough rise an excessive amount of (eg triple in dimension) as a result of this implies the yeast has used up all it’s rising firepower so the bread received’t rise as a lot within the oven.
3. Roll out & unfold
-
Punch the dough to deflate it (my favorite step!).
-
Roll out – Flip the dough out onto a evenly floured floor. Unfold it out roughly along with your palms right into a rectangle form (to offer the rolling out a head begin). Then roll it out right into a 48 x 28 cm / 11 x 19”rectangle.
-
Vegemite! Unfold with butter then the vegemite.
-
Cheese – Then sprinkle 3 cups (300g) of the cheese evenly throughout the floor.
4. CUT & rise #2
-
Roll up – Use a knife, ruler or related to assist carry the lengthy fringe of the dough, roll it up into a protracted log. Attempt to roll up pretty firmly however not so tight that you just indent the dough along with your fingers as you roll.
-
Minimize into 12 items.
-
Fill pan – Place the items in a lined 23 x 33cm / 9 x 13″ pan, evenly spaced aside.
⚠️ Be sure that there may be paper overhang (see pictures) as it’s useful to have the surplus paper to make use of as handles to carry the slab of Cheesymite Scrolls out of the pan onto a cooling rack (moderately than turning the other way up – they’re so mushy, you would possibly harm them).
-
Rise #2 (half-hour) – Frivolously spray a bit of cling wrap with oil (any impartial oil) then cowl the pan. Rise in a heat place for half-hour or till it expands/rises about 30% or a little bit extra.
5. BAKE
-
Cheese it! Sprinkle the floor with cheese.
-
Bake for 25 minutes at 180°C/350°F (160°C fan-forced). Then rotate the pan and bake for an extra 10 minutes at 200°C/375°F (180°C fan-forced) or till the cheese on the floor of the scrolls across the fringe of the pan are gentle golden.
⚠️ Keep watch over the scrolls for the final 10 minutes as totally different cheeses and even totally different manufacturers of similar cheese varieties go from melted-to-golden at totally different charges when baked on breads. You’ll cry in case your cheese burns an excessive amount of, in spite of everything that work. Then you definately’ll come right here and inform me your sob story and I’ll cry too.
-
Relaxation – Let the Cheesymite Scrolls relaxation within the pan for five minutes. Then use the paper overhang to carry out onto a cooling rack and funky for not less than one other 5 minutes earlier than diving in!
-
Devour! Peel the scrolls aside, and spot the mushy fairy-floss like texture of the bread between every scroll. Do you sink your enamel straight into the entire scroll or uncurl the scroll??
A principle: Why I like Cheesymite Scrolls a lot
I’m so obsessive about Cheesymite Scrolls that I even benefit from the low cost grocery retailer variations.
And as I used to be penning this submit, I realised my obsession probably stems from my childhood. Vegemite sandwiches have been a lunchbox staple for Aussie children, and I’d eye them enviously whereas I shamefully pulled out my bento field with compartments crammed with a dizzying array of Japanese meals.
Mockingly, I’d be the cool child immediately, however again then, I felt bizarre.
So sure, I blame my childhood lack of Vegemite sandwiches for my grownup obsession with Cheesymite Scrolls. It’s all of your fault, mum! – Nagi x
Cheesymite Scrolls FAQ
Sure it’s. In Australia it’s sometimes labelled “on the spot yeast”.
Sure you’ll be able to! Instructions to make use of lively dry yeast are within the recipe notes. Energetic dry yeast must be activated by mixing with heat water (or milk) then put aside for 10 minutes or so till it turns into foamy. Then it’s combined in with the opposite dough substances.
On the spot yeast doesn’t have to be foamed in liquid earlier than getting used. It might simply be combined straight into the flour then milk added to kind a dough.
Each forms of yeast make breads, rolls and so forth rise. However the yeast works otherwise on various kinds of dough so for some forms of breads, on the spot yeast will work higher than lively dry yeast, or vice versa (ie it rises extra, the crumb is softer and so forth).
For this recipe, I attempted with each on the spot and lively dry yeast and didn’t discover a distinction in the long run outcome. So I selected on the spot yeast as a result of it’s simpler to make use of ie. one much less step – no must foam it first.
In case your yeast is kind of previous otherwise you’ve been storing it within the pantry by means of scorching climate moderately than the fridge, it’s best to test in case your yeast continues to be good earlier than continuing with this recipe. Think about how disappointing it will be should you make the dough and it by no means rises??😭
To check in case your on the spot yeast continues to be good, combine 1/2 teaspoon yeast with 1/4 cup heat water and 1/4 tsp sugar. Depart for 10 minutes in a heat place. If it will get foamy, your yeast is okay so you’ll be able to proceed with the recipe! (You may’t use the foamy water within the recipe although).
No, you’ll be able to’t substitute the yeast with baking powder on this recipe. Breads made with baking powder don’t have the identical “stretch” as actual bread, it has a extra muffin-like texture. Sorry to disappoint. Although if there may be adequate demand, I’d be blissful to undertake the problem of the very best no-yeast Cheesymite Scrolls!
Mockingly, it was by no means the dough! The dough is VERY forgiving (see under). The elements I struggled to get proper have been:
-
Vegemite amount – the quantity of Vegemite to make use of to get sufficient Vegemite flavour with out being too salty. The amount referred to as for in different recipes varies so wildly it’s regarding, from 1 tablespoon to five tablespoons! One recipe I attempted was inedibly salty;
-
one of the best cheese – so it crusts properly on the floor however melts pleasantly within the folds. Irritatingly troublesome to determine. I used to be so certain the Aussie staple Tasty cheese would work. Ought to work! I saved attempting it! However sadly, it got here in final. It’s simply not a pleasant melting cheese. Colby cheese got here in first. Full listing of suggestions is within the substances part above;
-
butter – you want sufficient butter to assist unfold the Vegemite on the dough and make the scrolls tasty, however should you use an excessive amount of you find yourself with a pool of butter on the bottom which makes them overly greasy. I used to be additionally decided to include butter into mine for superior flavour. As a result of Bakers Delight don’t use butter, they use oil. Butter trumps flavourless oil every single day!
-
bake time – ensuring the scrolls bake by means of correctly while getting the best about of golden cheese on the floor. Annoyingly, I discovered it requires a temperature enhance partway by means of baking. I actually did attempt to keep away from this, however saved having burnt cheese earlier than the within was cooked, or cooked insides with not-golden-cheese surfaces (I would like golden spots for a legit Cheesymite Scroll expertise!); and
-
batch dimension – an odd sounding recipe growth thorn, however an actual one. I wanted to make the best dimension and quantity of Cheesymite Scrolls to fill a regular dimension baking pan excellent, so the scrolls would bake snugly up towards one another. I discovered that filling an entire pan was fairly vital. I attempted solely partially filling a pan however the unsupported line of scrolls turned wonky and principally overcooked.
I’m further nervous about publishing yeast-based recipes with out placing a recipe by means of its paces, as a result of it’s so disappointing should you wait round for hours for the dough to rise solely to seek out it’s a fail! In order with all different yeast bread recipes I’ve shared, I did fairly a little bit of testing for this recipe which I first revamped a month in the past.
I’ve fiddled with the dough a lot and in the midst of all of the tweaking, I’ve come to understand it’s truly a really forgiving dough. I’ve:
-
added an excessive amount of further milk partway by means of so needed to right texture with extra flour however then the dough was too dry so I added extra milk (triple repair plus kneading time in extra of 10 minutes);
-
kneaded twice so long as the recipe requires;
-
risen lower than double;
-
risen simply shy of triple the amount (an accident – didn’t set a timer and I forgot about it!);
-
proved the dough in half-hour (lower than half the time) in a really, very heat atmosphere;
-
didn’t show the dough in a chilly unheated bed room for 3 hours so I then moved it to a hotter place to rise; and
-
made it with each on the spot and lively dry yeast (see high of FAQ for the distinction).
These are simply a few of the situations I examined. And the bread a part of the Cheesymite Scrolls have all the time labored out! It was different elements of the recipe that I had hassle with (see above FAQ).

Recipe Notes:
2. Yeast – Search for cannisters/packs labelled “on the spot yeast” or “rapid-rise yeast”. Recipe works with dry lively yeast too. Combine lively dry yeast with the sugar and 1/2 cup of the nice and cozy milk, put aside 10 min till very foamy (if it doesn’t foam, it means yeast is useless, so time to get one other). Then put the flour, salt, foamy milk combination and remaining heat milk right into a bowl. Combine to kind a dough and proceed with recipe.
3. Milk – Both full or low fats is greatest right here for the softest, fluffiest scrolls. I microwave on excessive for 1 minute. Don’t make it scalding scorching, it’ll kill the yeast. See underneath Components in submit for extra info.
4. Vegemite – Wants no introduction for Australians! Learn in submit. Marmite, promite and bovril are related however as I haven’t made these with them, I can’t say if they’ll style pretty much as good. In my world, there isn’t a substitute for Vegemite! 🙂
5. Cheese – Freshly shredded is greatest right here so it melts higher inside and on high of the scroll. See in submit underneath Components for extra ideas on cheese choices (together with why I don’t like Tasty cheese).
PS I do know 500g of cheese appears like a LOT (and it’s!) however this makes 12 huge scrolls so it really works out at 40g per scroll (lower than 1/2 a cup). And they’re referred to as CHEESE and Vegemite Scrolls, in spite of everything….😇
6. Examine your on the spot yeast is alive -Combine 1/2 tsp yeast with 1/4 cup heat water and 1/4 tsp sugar. Depart for 10 min, if it will get foamy, it’s alive. If not, it’s useless. Time to get new yeast!
7. Meals processor possibility – Suit your meals processor with the dough blade and even the usual steel S blade is okay. Proceed with recipe. It really works similar to a stand mixer!
8. Kneading – The dough must be caught up on the dough hook so it’s being “flung” across the bowl (ie kneaded). If it rides up the aspect of the bowl as a substitute, simply cease the stand mixer and wrap the dough across the hook, then maintain beating.
Storing – Retains for 3 days in an hermetic container within the pantry although they’re at their absolute peak freshly made. As soon as cool, I all the time insist they be eaten heat (20 seconds within the microwave on excessive) which works a protracted approach to resurrect them to freshly-made-status. Freeze for 3 months.
