Cheesymite scrolls are a classic lunchbox item. Kids love the combination of cheese & Vegemite in a soft dough bun. Make my cheese & Vegemite scrolls for their lunch or as an afternoon snack. Easily made by hand but even quicker in the Thermomix.
My Cheesymite Scrolls are always a big hit with the kids. Lachlan especially prefers the homemade version. He explained to me that my scrolls have more flavour in every mouthful, plus there are also crispy bits. I have to agree with him, I suspected that I'm a bit more heavy-handed with the cheese and vegemite!
Cheesymite Scroll Tips
I've included some tips for making the scrolls. They're super easy but making the perfect dough is the secret.
- Knead the dough for the full-time specified in the recipe. This activates the gluten and affects the softness of the dough.
- Proof in a warm spot until the dough has doubled in size.
- Once the scrolls have been rolled into scrolls they need a second proof. Find a warm spot and allow the cheesy mite scrolls to achieve the size you like. If they don't puff up as required, find a warmer spot and leave them to proof longer.
Making Scroll Dough by Hand
Method
- Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl and set aside until frothy.
- Place flour, salt, and oil in a large mixing bowl, and combine.
- Pour the activated yeast into the flour.
- Stir the mixture with a large spoon until combined
- Use your hands to knead the dough in the bowl for 5 minutes.
- Lightly flour a work surface and continue to knead the dough for another 10 minutes.
- Place the dough in a clean oiled mixing bowl.
- Cover with a tea towel and allow the dough to proof in a warm place until it has doubled in size.
- The dough is ready to make scrolls.
- Continue to the recipe card for a description of how to make the scrolls.

More About Dough
If you're new to dough making I have more tips in my No Fail Bread Making story. In that article, I go into the science of dough making. Knowing a little more about how yeast works will help you troubleshoot if your dough isn't rising properly. Also, if the weather is cold, take a look at my tips for proofing dough in the winter.

there is so much advertising and links on this page! makes it very hard to focus on the recipe ๐

Hi Teresa
Iโm sorry you feel you have had a negative experience. Unfortunately developing and testing recipes, buying equipment to photograph and edit the photos and then to build and maintain a website are all very costly ventures. These ads allow me to continue to do what I love, which is bring my Thermomix lovers delicious recipes. I donโt make a cent from the ads, they just help me cover some of the costs. Itโs the only way I can keep providing free content. So please look past these ads, they keep this site afloat.
