Oscar looooves cheese & bacon scrolls. When ever I make a batch of these everyone complains because they are gone too fast – they really are super delicious (really, what bread fresh from the oven isn’t delicious?!). I made a batch this week so that they came out of the oven just as Oscar stepped off the school bus…talk about coolest Mum ever!
This is how I make them in the Thermomix – but I’ve been making them by hand or using the bread maker for longer than that. I used to use the basic bread recipe in the Everyday Cookbook for all of my breads, but a friend shared this bread recipe with me and it’s all I will use now. It does take a little longer, but the bread is much nicer and lasts way longer.
Cheese & Bacon Scrolls
300g water
600g plain flour
2 tsp dried yeast
2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp bread improver
15g oil
grated cheese
diced bacon
Place water into Thermomix bowl and cook on 1 minute on speed 2 at 37 degrees.
Add flour, yeast, salt, sugar, bread improver and oil. Mix for 5 seconds on speed 5.
Knead for 6 minutes on interval speed.
Place Thermomix bowl in a warm place to allow dough to rise until doubled in size.
Once risen, knead for 30 seconds on interval speed.
Remove dough from bowl and roll into a rectangle about 60cm x 30cm. Sprinkle grated cheese and diced bacon over rectangle.
Starting at long edge, roll up into a scroll shape.
Cut into 1″ pieces and place in a baking paper lined tray.
Cover with plastic wrap or a tea towel and leave in a warm place to rise for about 30-45 minutes.
Place into a cold oven and turn onto 200 degrees celsius.
Cook for 20-30 minutes.
