Prep: 15 mins + Proving Time
Cook: 20 mins
Makes: 8 Scrolls
INGREDIENTS:
- ½ quantity of basic pizza dough (see page 4)
- 1 ⅓ cups (150g) Perfect Italiano™ Perfect Pizza cheese
- ¾ cup (120g) diced bacon
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Begin by rolling out the pizza dough to create a rectangular masterpiece, stretching it into a 20cm x 30cm shape. Position the dough with the longest edge closest to you, ready to embrace the flavors that await.
- Elevate the dough’s canvas with a sprinkle of culinary magic. Distribute one cup of Perfect Pizza cheese evenly over the surface, allowing it to melt and meld with the other ingredients. Introduce the diced bacon to the mix, infusing each scroll with the irresistible flavor of savory goodness.
- It’s time to transform the dough into delectable scrolls. Starting from the longest edge, carefully roll up the dough to envelop the flavorful filling, creating a log of tantalizing taste. Gently cut the log into eight equal pieces, revealing the swirls of cheese and bacon within.
- Pie Maker Method: For ultimate convenience, preheat your pie maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Place four scrolls into the preheated pie maker, allowing them to bask in the warmth of culinary creation. After 5 minutes, open the lid and sprinkle a touch of extra Perfect Pizza cheese over each scroll, enhancing their cheesy allure. Close the lid and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the scrolls achieve a golden perfection that beckons you to indulge. Repeat this process with the remaining scrolls and cheese, ensuring that each bite delivers the promised fusion of flavors.
- Oven Method: Alternatively, for the traditional warmth of the oven, preheat it to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line a baking tray with parchment paper, providing a cozy haven for your scrolls. Place the scrolls onto the baking tray, allowing them approximately 2 cm of space between each other. Crown the scrolls with the remaining Perfect Pizza cheese, adding the finishing touch of gooey indulgence. Bake the scrolls for 15-20 minutes, witnessing their transformation into golden masterpieces that are cooked to perfection.
TIPS:
- Freezing: Extend the joy of your Bacon & Cheese Pizza Scrolls by freezing any extras. Once the scrolls have cooled, place them into a zip lock bag or containers, preserving their deliciousness for up to one month. When the craving arises, simply reheat the scrolls in a pie maker for 5 minutes, and you’ll be transported back to the realm of savory delight.
