Whip up the dough for these scrolls in your Thermomix and make the sauce while the dough is proving!
The dough has plenty of hidden pumpkin and the sauce hides heaps of different veg. Here’s the recipe for that: Very Veggie Pizza Pasta Sauce.
These scrolls are not hard to make! Scrolls that you make the dough in the Thermomix, and also use it grate the cheese and whip up the veggie packed sauce – yes please!
These are excellent to have in the freezer ready to go into lunch boxes. Best of all – the kids won’t suspect a thing about all (or any of) the veggies these contain, I promise!
The great thing about this dough is that it suits a savoury or sweet filling, so change it up a bit if you like – see my recipe for Spelt Dough Scrolls for more filling ideas.
Hidden Veggie Scrolls
Ingredients
- 350 g pumpkin peeled, diced 2cm
- 270 g water
- 2 tsp instant dry yeast
- 750 g spelt flour *see note underneath recipe for subbing this with bakers flour, if required
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp rapadura/coconut sugar/honey
- 250-300 g Very Vege Pizza/Pasta Sauce
- 300 g tasty cheddar cheese diced 2cm
Instructions
- Place cheese in mixer bowl. Grate 8 seconds/speed 8/MC on. Transfer to a bowl.
- Place pumpkin in simmering basket and set in place inside bowl. Add 500g water. Steam 15 minutes/100/speed 3/MC on.
- Remove basket from bowl and set aside to cool a little – 20 minutes is sufficient, but don’t leave it any less than this or you could kill the yeast when you add it. Discard water left in bowl.
- When the pumpkin has cooled down, transfer it to mixer bowl, along with the 270g water. Heat 1.5 minutes/37/speed 1/MC on.
- Add yeast, flour, salt and sugar. Mix 6 seconds/speed 6/MC on then KNEAD/4 minutes/MC on.
- Transfer dough to an oiled bowl and cover with cling wrap, or wrap the dough in a thermal mat. Leave in a warm place to double in size.
- Flour your intended work surface – this is quite a sticky dough and you will need to make sure you flour the work surface generously or the dough may stick to it.
- Unwrap dough, transfer it to your work surface and punch the air out of it – you may need to oil your hands. Sprinkle the dough with flour and roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Spread with the pizza sauce, leaving a 1-2cm strip bare along the top long edge. Sprinkle with the majority of the cheese, leaving a little aside to sprinkle on top of the rolled scrolls. Using a plastic knife, cut the dough into 18-20 strips, then roll individual scrolls, working from bottom to top of the dough. Place each scroll onto the prepared tray as you roll them.
- When all scrolls are rolled, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and place into your cold oven. Set temperature to 200°C and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden.
- When cooked, remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Hi, I'm Bec
I specialise in great tasting vegetarian Thermomix recipes and cater for a wide range of dietary needs. I love sharing here and in my cookbooks my healthy, delicious recipes (of course the odd treat too!) Whether you’re looking to ignite your thermo mojo, or just after some new, really tasty family friendly recipes, there really is something here for everyone
These are so delicious! I love that there is veg in the dough & the sauce and no one had a clue. So clever Bec! Have you got the ‘Deceptively Delicious’ cook book by Jessica Seinfield? She has great ideas for hiding goodies into everyday meals/baking etc… Great book!
No I haven’t heard of that one! Sounds good, but I think I’d be disowned if I purchased another cookbook lol
Made these and my family love them! Can they be stored on the counter or do they need to go in the fridge? Aside from the ones in the freezer of course. Thanks Bec!
Hmm I have left them out on the bench overnight then given to the girls for lunch the next day but wouldn’t leave them out any longer than that, or if your house is hot.
I just made these for the first time. A very easy recipe to follow and the dough was really nice to work with! I’m certain they will pass the ‘children’ test! Smelling lovely baking in my kitchen right now!
I just made cheese scrolls, so good but the only problem is I’m unsure they will make it to the freezer for the kids lunches, they are just too yummy!!
These are so easy to make. The sauce is amazing mixed through pasta too!!
Great – made this for lunches this week. I rolled mine as one big sausage and then cut. Think next time I need to roll a little thinner though. Might try with zucchini in dough? Wonder if anyone done that? Ah the challenges of school lunch boxes – when we want real food. Thanks Bec – you are a gem!
We love these…I add ham, salami and pineapple and cheese as my filling. Great for the lunchboxes.
These are a hit and my kids love them!!!
These are a regular in our house. They go in my kids lunchboxes at least once a week, are great to bring to finger food parties, and excellent in the freezer for last minute meals /snacks. My kids are reeeeeeaaaalllly fussy, but they inhale these. Absolutely beautiful!
I make theses all the time and we love them!
