Ingredients
Savory Scrolls Base
2 cups all purpose flour (plain flour Australia and UK) - plus extra for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup butter - cold and diced
¾ cup milk
Filling
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion - finely chopped
2 cloves garlic - minced
500 grams ground beef (minced beef) - grass-fed preferred
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ cup tomato paste
1 cup cheddar cheese - grated
Topping
- 1 tablespoon milk - for brushing
1 tablespoon sesame seeds - optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the diced butter and rub it into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Gradually stir in the milk to form a soft dough. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead briefly until smooth. Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1 cm (0.4 inches) thick.
- For the filling, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent. Increase the heat, add the minced beef, and cook until browned.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste. Cook for another 5 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Allow to cool slightly before spreading evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese over the meat mixture. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 8 equal pieces and place on the prepared tray.
- Brush each scroll with milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm.
Notes
For a twist, try adding a sprinkle of oregano or chili flakes to the filling for extra flavor. Alternatively, swap the minced beef for plant-based mince for a vegetarian option.
