If you’ve never taken a Vegemite scroll to school you’re missing out on a great Australian culinary experience. There are so many variations of the Vegemite scroll, but I usually use wholemeal bread for this fun creation (you can use any bread that rocks your little peeps). A prerequisite for this recipe is to ensure that the Vegemite jar has a thousand crumbs inside it.

Quick and Easy Vegemite Scrolls
TIPS
• If you like, you can wrap the scrolls in foil so that they’re still warm for lunchtime.
• You can prepare these the night before, leaving them in an airtight container overnight. All you need to do is toast them in the morning and you’re done.
• Gluten free Gluten-free bread works a treat in this recipe.
Dairy free
You can also sub out the butter for a dairy- free butter.
Vego/vegan
Dairy-free butter is an amazing sub for real butter. For vegans, Nuttelex with coconut oil is a great palm oil– free option.
Fussy eaters
The shape is the key for this recipe – kids love fun shapes. You can use whatever fillings your little peeps prefer.

Pop two bread slices on a chopping board side by side but overlapping by 1 cm.
Use a rolling pin to roll them together. You should now have a squashed bread rectangle. Repeat with the remaining bread slices to create four rectangles.

Smear butter, then Vegemite, on the bread rectangles, making sure it’s evenly distributed between them.

Time to make the scrolls. Using both hands, lift the long side of a bread rectangle and firmly roll it up to look like a snake.

Now you’ll need to create the scroll. Starting at one end, coil the snake inwards to look like a large snail.
Use a skewer to hold the scroll together while you make the remaining scrolls.

You can pack these scrolls in a lunchbox the way they are, no problem.
But! If you want to take them to the next level, pop them in the toaster so the skewers are sticking up out of the toaster (please don’t use metal skewers!) and toast them. Once toasted, you can add a little extra butter on top and perhaps a dash of vegemite for garnish. Very fancy indeed.

Remove the skewers before serving – the scrolls will hold their shape perfectly.
