Hot Dog Scrolls

Antipodeans are aware of the cheesymite scroll, which can be found at Bakers Delight amongst other places, and they are oh so delicious! Every time I am back in New Zealand I make sure I have at least one. So what happens when an American hot dog meets a cheesymite scroll? Well they fall in love of course! But seriously they make this: The Hot Dog Scroll. 

Hot Dog Scrolls


3 cups plain flour (or you can use self raising flour just leave out the baking powder)
50 g butter375 ml milk

4 tablespoons of baking powder
A pinch salt
1 tablespoon of mustard (depends how hot you like it)
4 tablespoons of passata (could use ketchup or tomato chutney as alternatives)
1/4 of an onion, finely chopped
70g smoked sausage, thinly sliced, and then halved.
200g grated cheddar cheese


1. Sift flour and salt into a bowl then rub through butter. Stir in enough milk to make soft dough. Knead gently on a lightly floured surface, and then roll to form a 40 cm x 25 cm rectangle.
2. Spread the passata and mustard over the dough with a tablespoon, then sprinkle over 3/4 of the cheese and the finely chopped onion. Roll up along the long side to enclose the cheese. Cut 10 x 4cm pieces from the roll and place them cut side up on a greased baking tray. Keep them around 1 inch apart.
3. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese on top of the scrolls and bake in a hot oven for 220 degrees Celsius for 15-20 minutes or until cooked and golden.
