Preparation[edit]

The preparation of a cheesymite scroll involves several steps:

1. Dough Preparation: The dough is made by combining flour, yeast, salt, and butter, and then kneading it until smooth. It is left to rise until it doubles in size.

2. Filling: Once the dough has risen, it is rolled out into a flat rectangle. A layer of Vegemite is spread over the dough, followed by a generous sprinkling of grated cheese.

3. Rolling and Cutting: The dough is then rolled into a log shape and cut into individual scrolls.

4. Baking: The scrolls are placed on a baking tray and baked in a preheated oven until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Variations[edit]

While the classic cheesymite scroll uses cheddar cheese, variations can include different types of cheese such as mozzarella or parmesan. Some recipes may also incorporate additional ingredients like bacon or onion for added flavor.

Cultural Significance[edit]

The cheesymite scroll is a staple in many Australian and New Zealand bakeries and is often found in school lunchboxes and at social gatherings. It reflects the local love for Vegemite, a spread made from brewer's yeast extract, which is an iconic part of Australian cuisine.
