Cheesy-mite scrolls

1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees celsius fan bake. Place the flour, sugar and butter into a food processor. Season with salt and pepper, then pulse until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. 
2. Add ½ cup grated cheese, then pulse 1-2 times to lightly chop the cheese. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, then add the milk and use your hands to mix until a soft dough forms. 
3. Lightly dust a clean work surface with extra flour, then roll the dough into a large rectangle around ½ cm thick. 
4. Lay the rectangle wide horizontally. Spread an even layer of Marmite or Vegemite over the rectangle, leaving a 1cm border at the top edge. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the spread, then roll horizontally into a log. 
5. Trim the edges, then cut into 12 pieces. Nestle the scrolls into a greased muffin tin cut-side up, then place into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. 
6. Leave to cool slightly before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. 
   
   

Tips:

• Need fresh scrolls on hand any time of the week? Freeze the baked scrolls and store them in a container, then remove individually as needed and allow to defrost overnight. Warm in the microwave or oven if desired!
• If you want to remove the sugar, you could substitute it for sugar-substitutes like Stevia. Remember to adjust the amounts as stevia is a lot sweeter than sugar. A rule of thumb is to use half the amount of stevia: 1/2 teaspoon rather than 1 teaspoon. Check the packaging for the exact conversion.
