These pizza scrolls are the best. The kids and the husband LOVE then. I’ve never had a fail batch. Sometimes, I do a double batch and pop them in the freezer for school lunches.
Pizza Scrolls Recipe
Dough Ingredients
310 g Luke warm water (1 1/3 cups)
1 sachet dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
510 g plain flour (3 1/2 cups)
30 g extra virgin olive oil (3 tablespoons)
Filling
Tomato Sauce
200 grams Bacon bits
Grated cheese
Dough Method (for Thermomix)
1. Add ingredients into the bowl as listed.
2. Mix on 6 for 12 seconds.
3. Lock lid and knead for 1.5 minutes.
4. Place dough in a bowl and cover with a clean tea towel. Allow to rise for 30 minutes.
Dough Method (other)
1. Add ingredients as listed into a bowl.
2. Mix with a spoon until just combined.
3. Use hands to form a ball and knead for about 10 minutes.
4. Allow to rise in a bowl for 30 minutes (cover with a clean tea towel).
Filling Method
5. Remove dough from the bowl and punch down.
6. Form dough into a ball and roll out in a rectangle shape (use a bit of extra flour on the bench or board before rolling out to avoid sticking). Tip: The rectangle doesn’t have to be a perfect shape — as you can see from the picture below.
7. Cover rectangle with tomato sauce and sprinkle on desired amount of cheese and bacon bits (or whatever filling you want, like vegemite and cheese).
8. Starting from the small side of the rectangle, roll up the dough until you get to the end.
9. Using a bread knife, cut the scroll into 9 even sections and place on a baking paper lined tray. (NOTE: do not cut on a Thermomix mat as it will damage it. I took the picture on the mat before transferring it to a board.)
10. Allow to rise for 15-20 minutes.
11. Place tray in a cold oven and turn to 180°C to 190°C and cook until golden (about 15-20 minutes).
** Do not cut on a Thermomix mat or it will be damaged. I just did this for demo purposes and transferred the roll to a board to cut.

March 1, 2014 at 8:09 amThese look YUM! How many grams are there in a sachet of dry yeast?
Kelly Be A Fun Mum
March 1, 2014 at 12:37 pm7 grams or about 2 teaspoons
Renee
March 20, 2014 at 8:23 pmHi, I tried this recipe tonight and it’s fab! Just thought I should mention though I cut the scrolls up on my thermomat as in the image and it has damaged my mat. I just googled it the mat contains fiberglass, and should never be cut on as the fiberglass can then go into the food.
Kelly Be A Fun Mum
March 26, 2014 at 4:18 pmThanks for adding this Renee. I realised that too, when I cut it! I then moved it to a board (but I forgot about it when I put the post together) I’ll add a note to the post with a warning. Thanks for letting me know.

May 25, 2014 at 9:37 amThese are amazing, I make a lot every week and freeze them and defrost for the kids lunches as needed. Have made many flavours and all turned out yummo! However I tend to rise my yeast in water first before adding to the dry ingredients as this is what I was taught as a kid.
Kelly Be A Fun Mum
May 26, 2014 at 8:56 amAwesome. They freeze well, don’t they! What other fillings have you found work really well?
Kirstin
May 26, 2014 at 1:17 pmThey freeze so well, I have also tried dried bacon bits and cheese. Tomato paste, cheese and onion. Garlic, cheese and chives
Kristy
May 28, 2014 at 10:25 pmJust made these for my daughters sports carnival tomorrow. They look and smell amazing! Are they better stored in an airtight container or the fridge?
Kelly Be A Fun Mum
May 29, 2014 at 9:52 pmI usually put them in an airtight container for overnight or freeze them if I’m not using them for a few days. Hope your daughter enjoyed them!

August 3, 2014 at 12:29 pmI rolled the dough starting from the long end, and it made 24 snack sized scrolls. Yum!

August 25, 2014 at 2:59 pmHi, these look great – thanks! Just wanted to check whether the bacon bits need to be cooked first. Cheers!
Kelly Be A Fun Mum
August 25, 2014 at 6:26 pmI don’t cook mine beforehand, no. I think it would be nice and crispy if you did though.
Rebecca
September 18, 2014 at 11:08 amThese were great. I didn’t let them rise and put them in a hot oven (was rushing for school lunches) and they still turned out fabulous. Thanks!
Kelly Be A Fun Mum
September 18, 2014 at 11:19 amSo welcome. So glad they were such a success for you.

December 7, 2014 at 12:18 pmMy first time making these scrolls and the dough is not rising at all! It’s been an hour! 🙁 I’ve followed the recipe exactly – what do you think has gone wrong?
Mel
December 30, 2014 at 8:01 pmCould have been any number of things. The flour could be stale, the water may have been too warm and killed the yeast or the yeast was stale, the place you left the dough to rise wasn’t warm enough. Dough should generally start rising within 10 minutes.

December 24, 2014 at 5:44 pmGreat recipe, my 12year old twins made them and took them on a picnic and everyone loved them.
Elysia
January 15, 2015 at 8:22 amHi, will bakers flour make much of a difference to the outcome?
Kelly - Be A Fun Mum
January 15, 2015 at 1:05 pmWhere are you from? You can but the texture of the bread might be different. Let me know how you go!
Elysia
January 15, 2015 at 8:33 pmI’m from the central coast, NSW. Does climate play a role too?
Kelly - Be A Fun Mum
January 15, 2015 at 10:23 pmMy line of thinking was in the UK and America they have different terms for different sorts of flour. I’ve only used plain flour in this recipe.
ajay
January 23, 2015 at 3:48 pmFantastic! first time making these and they turned out really well. I made half as cream cheese & bacon scrolls and the other half as chocolate with sprinkles swirls. Just need to perfect timing and sizing now. thanks.
Cassie
February 1, 2015 at 1:05 pmGreat recipe! This is first lot of scrolls I’ve made that taste like bread not scones. Will definitely be making again.
Belinda
February 2, 2015 at 5:41 pmI’ve just made these, my first scrolls ever! kids are waiting impatiently for them to cool down so they can try them.
Kylie
February 7, 2015 at 7:17 pmThese scrolls are amazing!!!!! Thank you for the recipe!
I used chorizo and cheese and they were soo tasty!
Kids loved them! A great filling snack, lunchbox idea or like tonight, an easy dinner for the kiddos.
Annette
February 19, 2015 at 11:30 amDoes gluten-free flour work in this recipe?
I’m a coeliac but my daughter and husband aren’t one.
Kelly - Be A Fun Mum
February 19, 2015 at 12:18 pmHi Annette! I havne’t tired them with GF flour so I’m not sure.
Michelle
February 20, 2015 at 4:12 pmI made apple & cinnamon scrolls kids loved them. Thanks for a great recipe ????????
Denise
February 22, 2015 at 2:44 pmI’ve just made a batch of these…..using ham, cheese, pineapple & bbq sauce. The boys are just taste testing them as I type this. Thumbs up from them. I might roll mine a little thinner next time, but not bad. I will experiment too with different flavours (i.e. sweet ones & different savoury ones…feta & spinach).
Minna
February 27, 2015 at 7:38 amI’m making these for the second time tonight! I thought I might post a little tip: very easy to cut into scrolls by using a piece of unflavoured dental floss or thread. Just slide the thread under the rolled up dough to where you would like to cut the scroll. Then bring ends together over the top, cross, and pull through the dough. If this is hard to imagine, simply search “cutting cinnamon buns with thread”. You end up with very precise cuts, without flattening the roll!
Kelly - Be A Fun Mum
February 27, 2015 at 2:58 pmThank you for leaving that tip here Minna!
Michelle
February 28, 2015 at 12:25 pmThese scrolls are so easy to make and my son loves taking them to school for his lunch. I have also passed this recipe on to quite a few people and they have all had success with them. The fillings I have used are: tomato paste, shredded ham, pineapple and cheese, Vegemite and cheese (yes I’m from Australia) and sweet chilli scrolls. Thanks so much for an easy and very economical recipe

You have a great blog
Roz
May 27, 2015 at 2:54 pmThank you! Wonderful recipe. I’ve tried quite a few scroll recipes but they are just never quite right.
🙂
kate
August 6, 2015 at 10:04 pmwhy the cold oven? I have a really old/slow to heat up oven and I normally cook a few things in a row as it takes so long to get hot? If i put it in a pre heated oven will it matter?
Kelly - Be A Fun Mum
August 7, 2015 at 5:56 amPutting it in a cold oven gives it a third rise. But you don’t need to do that. You can pre-heat your oven to the right temperature, and then put them in to cook.
Madeline
September 7, 2015 at 10:09 pmI usually make sweet scrolls with cinnamon or Apple. But tonight I made these. They were FANTASTIC! The dough in this recipie comes out so soft and fluffy!! Just like the ones in the store in,t wayyyyy more flavor! I filled mine with bacon,garlic, red onion, and parsley which I sautéed in thermy for 3 mins. Then added the cheese on top before rolling. Couldn’t be happier with this recipie. Can’t wait till I have my own kids to feed them too!
Kelly - Be A Fun Mum
September 8, 2015 at 9:52 amSo glad it was a success! I’ll have to try it with onion. Yum!
Alicia
September 19, 2015 at 6:38 pmI’m making these for the second time now, they are really yummy. Just wondering if you use a fan forced oven?
Kelly - Be A Fun Mum
September 20, 2015 at 10:48 amI didn’t use a fan forced for these.
Jeff
November 19, 2016 at 12:37 pmI just made these using fan forced oven at 180c and worked perfect, i cooked second batch as soon as first batch came out (effectively pre-heated) and worked fine, just watch for the desired colour on the outsides.
Amazing recipe, thank you
Kelly - Be A Fun Mum
November 22, 2016 at 4:07 pmThanks Jeff.
Emma
December 5, 2015 at 9:15 pmGot these in the oven now! Is the 15-20 minutes from the point that the oven reaches the set temperature?
Also – would this work with wholemeal flour? And if we use sweet fillings, do we need to adapt the dough at all?
Thanks for posting the recipe – my toddler loves vegemite and cheese scrolls from Baker’s Delight so hoping she will go for these too!
Kelly - Be A Fun Mum
December 7, 2015 at 3:17 amSorry I missed this Emma. How did you go?
Emma
December 7, 2015 at 2:34 pmHi Kelly – they went well thank you and my toddler loved them. I am going to try another batch with wholemeal flour – should I change anything about the recipe?
Thanks,
Emma
Kelly - Be A Fun Mum
December 7, 2015 at 4:59 pmI haven’t tried it with wholemeal, but I think they will work fine (they just might be a little heavier). I’d be interested to hear how you go!
Leanne Neal
January 13, 2016 at 7:27 pmI have just baked these scrolls and they are perfect. The receipe is a winner. Well done.

is it ok to make this and leave it in the fridge over night to cook the following day?
Kelly - Be A Fun Mum
August 23, 2016 at 9:39 amHi Jane, it would be better to cook them on the day, then pop them in the freezer and take them out in the morning for the lunch box. They will thaw by lunch time and be nice and fresh.

October 23, 2017 at 9:23 pmHi Kelly,
Do you put an egg wash or milk on the outside so I comes out golden brown?
Kelly - Be A Fun Mum
October 24, 2017 at 7:41 amI don’t, no…but you can def do that if you like. I tend to just put a bit of grated cheese on the top before baking.
Jasmine
January 21, 2018 at 7:39 amThank you very much for sharing the recipe! It is our goto scrolls recipe. We have made many versions. I also tend to do a double batch and freeze for school lunches (after we have enjoyed some fresh from the oven). We tried the sweet chilly sauce ones yesterday and the were delicious!
