Perfect as a snack, lunchbox treat or party bite for the whole family.
About this recipe
Cheese and bacon rolls in the Thermomix TM7 bring bakery-style savoury baking straight into your kitchen. If you have been searching for cheese and bacon roll recipes for your all-in-one kitchen machine, this one delivers pillowy soft rolls wrapped around salty diced bacon and molten cheddar. The bread improver and instant yeast guarantee a light, airy crumb, while the Thermomix kneads the baker's flour dough hands-free until it turns beautifully smooth and elastic. This is the ideal snack for a lazy weekend brunch, a lunchbox filler during the school week, or a crowd-pleasing party bite when friends come over. Warming the water to the exact temperature the yeast needs, weighing the flour directly in the mixing bowl, and grating the cheddar in seconds means there is far less washing up than with traditional baking. The egg wash and drizzle of extra virgin olive oil give the finished rolls a glossy, golden crust that looks as good as it tastes. Once you smell them baking, these rolls will become a regular in your weekly menu.
Preparation tips
- Tip 1: Activate the dried instant yeast in warm water with the caster sugar before adding it to the flour, so the dough for your cheese and bacon rolls rises reliably and develops a light, airy crumb.
- Tip 2: Brown the diced bacon in a frying pan until crispy before rolling it into the dough, as this renders the fat and prevents the rolls from becoming greasy while the cheddar melts inside.
- Tip 3: For an extra cheesy crust, reserve a handful of grated cheddar and scatter it over the egg-washed rolls just before baking, creating a golden, bubbling topping that kids especially love.
Recipe variations
- Vegetarian variation: replace the diced bacon with sun-dried tomatoes and caramelised onions, keeping the cheddar centre intact. The sweet-salty balance works beautifully in the same soft dough and makes these rolls suitable for vegetarian guests.
- Festive variation: add a pinch of smoked paprika and a spoonful of chopped chives to the filling for a party version, or shape the dough into small bite-sized rolls for a buffet table during the holidays.
