About the bake
Made with Allinson's wholemeal dough, these bacon and cheddar scrolls are bursting with flavour and will see everyone coming back for seconds. With tangy mustard and crispy bacon, these scrolls are a hit with teens and adults alike.
These bacon and cheese pinwheels are a great bake for beginners and fans of our wholemeal rolls who are looking for a new taste-adventure.
Tips for making the best bacon and cheese scrolls:
- How long do wholemeal bacon and cheese pinwheels last and can they be frozen?
These tasty scrolls will last a few days in an airtight container and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- How can I make my bacon and cheddar scrolls vegetarian?
For a vegetarian option, take out the bacon and add in sautéed vegetables such as mushroosm or baby spinach.
Method
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.Step 2:
KNEAD Tip onto a lightly flour dusted surface and knead for 10 minutes (or use the dough hook attachment on your mixer).
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.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.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).Step 6:
BAKE
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden and if you tear off a scroll the dough behind is cooked.

Recipe Reviews
These are quite fun and relatively easy to make. Mine came out well on the first try and I followed the bread recipe exactly, but changed the fillings to pesto and cheese. The pesto I spread across the dough and sprinkled in a little cheese before rolling and then added some to the top of the scrolls near the end of the cooking time, deelicious.
Would make again.
Brilliant recipe ideal for summer picnics or even to dip into some soup!
It’s not a review yet, but a question please. Is it possible to freeze these, either baked or unbaked. Thank you.
Hello,
Yes you can freeze these baked or unbaked. If freezing unbaked we would recommend freezing after stage 3 when the bread is not filled.
Thanks
Happy Baking!
These are fairly easy but so delicious. I even managed to convince a sceptical husband and son that they were nice! Didn't have any spring onions this time but they still worked. Will try them again with the onions as I definitely think they will add something.
