Vegemite and Cheese Scrolls
Vegemite and cheese scrolls (otherwise known as cheesy mite scrolls) are a bakery favourite. It’s so easy to make them at home, and they are amazing fresh out of the oven. These scrolls are made from scratch, with the fluffiest bread dough filled with salty Vegemite and golden bubbling cheese.
These scrolls are perfect for school lunchboxes, and make a great alternative to sandwiches. They also freeze extremely well!

Ingredients and substitutions
- Bread flour – Plain flour can be used but bread flour will give the best result.
- Dried instant yeast – Use dried instant yeast, either in sachets or a container. Ensure the yeast is fresh and within date for best results.
- Salt – For enhancing the flavour of the bread dough.
- White sugar – The white sugar helps activate the yeast.
- Bread improver – This is optional and and can be omitted if desired, but makes the bread slightly fluffier, and helps is stay fresher for longer.
- Lukewarm water – Be sure to use lukewarm (not hot) water. Too hot and the yeast may die, too cold and the dough may struggle to rise.
- Olive oil – The olive oil could be substituted with another variety of oil.
- Vegemite – Or your preferred alternative brand.
- Grated tasty cheese – This can be substituted with other varieties of grated cheese, or even a combination of cheese varieties.
Storage
These scrolls are always best enjoyed the day they are baked, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
