Oooo don’t you just love warm things out of the oven? Mmm. These are so simple, and would be really fun to make with the older kids. I made two batches while Harry cheered me on from the highchair, one with tomato and cheese and the other vegemite and cheese. They worked out beautifully and would be a great change from the classic sandwich in pre-school lunch boxes. There have got to be a million different ways you could make these. Sweet apple cinnamon, or Nutella… savoury tomato herb and feta… eeek, I can feel a pick ‘n’ mix coming on.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-raising flour (try wholemeal)
  • 30g butter, chopped
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tbs vegemite
  • 3/4 cup grated tasty cheese
  • Extra milk, to glaze

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. -

Step 2

Sift flour into a bowl. Using fingertips, rub the butter into flour until you have a fine breadcrumb consistency. Add the milk and knead until a soft dough forms. -

Step 3

Roll out to a 30cm x 20cm rectangle. Spread Vegemite over the dough and then sprinkle the cheese. Roll up firmly and place onto tray seam side down. -

Step 4

Using clean scissors, cut into top of dough at 3cm intervals (don't cut all the way through). Brush with milk. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. -

    Hi Allie,
    Do you know if this could be frozen either raw or after it’s been cooked?

      Hi Terri, these should freeze well either way 🙂 I have frozen them once cooked.

    Made these last night for my 11 month olds morning tea this morning. They were so super quick and easy! First time I have kneaded bread and he loved them! Thank you

      Hi Laura, I made a caramelised onion, thyme and cheese one recently, and I have also made a tomato paste/tomato basil, cheese and ham. You can be as creative as you like really 🙂 Ax

    thank you so much! I’ll try ham and cheese first since she likes Canadian bacon, I’m trying to get her to eat more veggies….how do you get a 19 month old to eat veggies besides pasta sauce? I thought I did everything right by nursing (still am) and making her baby food, but at least she’ll taste them.

      I peeled and finely grated 1 zucchini. Squeezed out the juice! and rubbed the zucchini in at the same time as the butter. Hidden vegetable trick!

    sorry, one more question…if I want to make a breakfast one with eggs, cheese, and canadian bacon, should I cook the egg (scramble) prior to baking? THanks again

    What a fantastic recipe! I have been cooking your recipes for nearly 2 years, and only discovered this one today. Wow! A cheesy mite one for the 2.5 yr old and a pizza one for me with tomato paste, salami and olives. I was planning on them going in the daycare lunchbox tomorrow, but doubt they’ll last till then.
    Thanks again for another tasty delight Allie.

    Would this work as a gluten free recipe?

    Hi, just after some tips with this for the novice baker. I have never made bread or pastry before but this sounded so easy, however it came out quite chewy. I liked it, but my toddlers struggled getting through it. I think I might have over-kneaded it (is that a thing?) as the pastry was dry and I was trying to get it to stick together. Should I have maybe added a little more butter or a little more milk instead? Or might I have used too much cheese? It was a really hot day, does that affect it? Any other ideas? Thank you.

      Over-kneeding will make it tough, you are correct. This dough is similar to scone dough – the trick with scones is to only mix until just combined, so I would guess this is the same. Have you tried again?
