Ingredients
  

  • 300g (2c) plain flour
  • 1½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 30g (1oz) butter coarsely grated
  • 180ml (¾c) milk

Filling

  • 2 tablespoons passata
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 100g (¾c) cheese grated
  • ¼ green capsicum/pepper finely chopped
  • 1-2 slices of ham (approx 50g / 1¾ oz), roughly chopped
  • black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200˚C/ 180˚C fan / 392˚F / 356˚F convection.
  • Line a baking tray with baking/greaseproof paper.

Make the scroll dough

  • Mix the flour and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Stir in the milk and knead to a soft dough.
  • Roll out on a floured board into a rectangle 1 cm (0.4") thick.

Topping/filling

  • Spread the passata over the dough in an even layer, leaving a centimetre (½ inch at the ends).
  • Sprinkle over the dried oregano.
  • Sprinkle over the cheese, ham, pepper/capsicum and season with black pepper.
  • Taking one of the long sides of the rectangle, slowly roll into a swiss roll, keeping the dough tight.
  • Cut into slices 3-4 cm (1.18" - 1.57") thick.
  • Lay the scrolls cut side up on the tray, leaving space in between as they expand a little when cooking.
  • Place into the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Cool for a few minutes before eating

Notes

TIPS:
Tip for grating butter: Leave the butter in the fridge until you want to grate it. If it's a hot day you can place the butter in the freezer for 15 minutes before you grate it. Dipping it in a little of the flour will help stop it from sticking to the grater.
To prevent the scrolls from becoming soggy, spread with a thin layer of pizza sauce.
Chop your vegetables finely, this makes the rolls easier to roll.
Roll the scrolls tightly, otherwise they can uncurl when cooking.
INGREDIENTS NOTES:
Cheese - I often use cheddar cheese or tasty cheese, but you can use whatever cheese you have in your fridge - vintage cheddar adds more flavour, mozzarella doesn't have much flavour but is delicious when used with parmesan.
Pizza sauce - I use passata and a sprinkling of oregano, but you can use bought or homemade pizza sauce
Vegetables - green or red capsicum/pepper, you could also add tinned sweetcorn (drain it first), finely diced pineapple (make sure to drain as much juice from it as possible).
