4-Ingredient Ham & Cheese Scrolls

Homemade Ham & Cheese Scrolls (Using Easy 2-Ingredient Dough)

Looking for a quick, budget-friendly lunchbox idea that your kids will actually eat? These homemade ham and cheese scrolls are your new go-to snack. Made with a super simple 2-ingredient dough — just Greek yoghurt and self-raising flour — this recipe is perfect for busy families, beginner bakers, or anyone wanting to skip the preservatives in store-bought snacks.

Why Make Scrolls at Home?

Bakery scrolls can be expensive and often come loaded with hidden additives, preservatives, and extra sugar or salt. When you make your own, not only do you save money, but you also have full control over the ingredients — and that means healthier snacks for the whole family.

These scrolls are:

  • Freezer-friendly

  • Great for school lunchboxes

  • An easy way to use up leftovers

  • Fun to make with

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Greek yoghurt

  • 1 cup self-raising flour

  • 1 cup shredded cheese

  • ½ cup chopped ham or bacon

You can also swap ham for turkey, bacon bits, or even chopped veggies like capsicum or spinach for a vegetarian version.

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.

  2. In a bowl, mix Greek yoghurt and self-raising flour until a dough forms.

  3. Knead the dough gently on a floured surface for 1–2 minutes until smooth.

  4. Roll into a rectangle (approx 0.5–1 cm thick).

  5. Sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese and chopped ham.

  6. Roll the dough tightly into a log from the long edge.

  7. Slice into 2–3 cm scrolls and place on the tray, spaced slightly apart.

  8. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Dough Tips & Tricks:

  • Sticky dough? Add a sprinkle of flour while kneading or lightly flour your rolling pin.

  • No self-raising flour? Use plain flour and add 2 tsp of baking powder per cup.

  • Want crispier bottoms? Place scrolls on a hot tray straight from the oven or use a pizza stone.

  • Love soft scrolls? Brush with a little milk before baking to keep them soft and golden.

  • Short on time? Skip rolling — press the dough into a baking tin, top like a pizza, and slice after baking.


More Ways to Use 2-Ingredient Dough:

How to Store & Freeze:

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

  • Freezer: Freeze individually on a tray, then transfer to a zip-lock bag. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
