Ham, Cheese and Mustard Scrolls |A Simple Lunchbox Recipe – Create Bake Make

These Ham, Cheese and Mustard Scrolls are a hit in our house! They are great for lunch boxes, freezer friendly and can also be made using a Thermomix too.

For a simple lunchbox recipe, you can’t go wrong with these yeast free Ham, Cheese and Mustard Scrolls.  The dough recipe for these scrolls is the same one that I use for our Vegemite and Cheese Scrolls, Hawaiian Pizza Scrolls and of course our favourite sweet scrolls – Cinnamon Scrolls.  It’s certainly not a traditional dough recipe, but it’s easy to work, you can add practically whatever scroll filling you like, and best of all, the kids love it!

When making these Ham, Cheese and Mustard Scrolls, if you are finding your dough is quite soft to work with (which can happen if it’s quite warm when you are putting these scrolls together), just pop it into the fridge for 20 minutes or so to chill and it will become firmer and easier to work with.    Once cooked, these scrolls can be frozen for up to two months, just pop them into a freezer safe container.

If you are making these Ham, Cheese and Mustard Scrolls for adults (or older kids) you can also add an extra tablespoon or two of seeded mustard to give them a little extra kick, however for the kids, I’d suggest sticking to three tablespoons.
