These tasty scrolls will last a few days in an airtight container and can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Method

  1. Step 1:

    MIX

    Mix the flours, yeast and salt in a big bowl. Mix together the melted butter, sugar and water, then mix in with a cutlery knife.

  2. Step 2:

    KNEAD Tip onto a lightly flour dusted surface and knead for 10 minutes (or use the dough hook attachment on your mixer). 

  3. Step 3:

    RISE

    Lightly grease the mixing bowl with some oil. Put the dough back in, cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and leave to rise until doubled in size.

    Prepare the filling ingredients.

  4. Step 4:

    SHAPE

    Roll the dough on a flour dusted surface to a rectangle about 25cm x 40cm. Spread the mustard over, then crumble over the bacon, cheddar and spring onions. Roll up from the long side like a swiss roll. Flour a sharp knife and cut into 9 slices. Lift onto a floured baking tray, spiral-side up, in a 3 x 3 square. Allow some room between the slices for growing.

  5. Step 5:

    PROVE

    Cover the dough again with a clean tea towel and leave to prove until doubled in size again. Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan 180°C,  gas mark 6).

  6. Step 6:

    BAKE

    Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden and if you tear off a scroll the dough behind is cooked.
