Southern Cheese Rolls...................
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 1 | Wanting to get closer to my cultural roots decided to do some of their traditional baking. First on the list was the above Southern Cheese Rolls....maybe I am to far removed from my roots here as they didn't turn out like the piccie I have of them. I couldn't get them to rollup neatly or stay rolled up. Now I have to admit I did change the recipe a bit, instead of the reduced cream, soup mix and cheese, I used a slice of 4x4 ham and a Mainland colby cheese slice in them. Could it be that I didn't have the stickiness needed from the reduced cream mixture or something else? Has anyone any suggestions as to where I went wrong? Really would like to get these right before I start on the Haggis ;-) Edited by cookiebarrel at 11:44 pm, Fri 2 Nov cookiebarrel - 2012-11-02 23:43:00 |
| 2 | Just a wild guess, but I'd say you went wrong when you replaced the original ingredients with your own, which don't seem nearly as sticky. daisyhill - 2012-11-02 23:46:00 |
| 3 | Thanks daisyhill, thought that is were I went wrong. Silly North Islander I am :-( cookiebarrel - 2012-11-02 23:56:00 |

| 8 | I read the other day that cutting off the top & bottom crusts will make them easier to roll too. accroul - 2012-11-03 14:36:00 |

Yes, I have found that to be the case and also IMO the bread is best (easiest to roll) if really fresh. :-)) 245sam - 2012-11-03 14:45:00 |

| 11 | Thanks for the advice guys. Know I should have kept closer to the original recipes, but wasn't sure #1 son would like the dip mix heated with the cheese. Will definatly try them again the 'proper' way and if son doesn't like them at least the dogs will get a yummy treat! My sincerest apologies to my ancestors. Oh and the article on them kindly posted in the link by suzanna says not to cut the crusts off for the authentic Southern cheese roll :-) cookiebarrel - 2012-11-03 16:39:00 |
| 12 | ooooh yum, now I feel like a cheese roll...mmmm with a bit of garlic butter on under the grill to toast and then dunk it in some pumpkin soup... mumstu - 2012-11-03 17:11:00 |
| 13 | I roll the bread with a rolling pin before filling. Sandwich bread does not seem to be as thinly sliced as it used to be. One of our local bakers will slice a loaf thinly for me but it is still not the same as the sandwich bread we used to get down south. Slices are smaller too. kay141 - 2012-11-03 17:33:00 |

| 15 | I cut one side off the bread, side that's going to end up in the middle. I find then I get more of the cheesy sensation and they are easier to roll. nik12 - 2012-11-03 21:31:00 |

This is the site I got my recipe from bridget107, but mine didn't look as neat and like I said I didn't have the reduced cream and stuff, so as I was so keen to try them I did a Northerners way of doing it and stuffed up big time. Like elliehen said, really just a rolled up cheese and ham toasted sandwich, not a Southern Cheese Roll at all...shame on me, but I did spread it well with Mainland butter so maybe I will be forgiven sometime ;-) Edited by cookiebarrel at 11:44 pm, Sat 3 Nov cookiebarrel - 2012-11-03 23:43:00 |
| 20 | A really easy recipe is to grate some cheese into a bowl, add a sprinkle of onion salt and enough boiling water to make a spread. Let it cool in the fridge then spread on your bread & roll up. Melts all gooey and yummy. ry5 - 2012-11-04 00:50:00 |

| 24 | I have never used reduced cream in mine, will have to try that I always use evaporated milk, a pkt of bacon and onion soup mix, and then half a cup of grated cheese, I cut three crusts of and roll the crusted side first (so that it is hidden on the inside, but gives it a bit of strength when rolling... I always freeze them, not sure why I bother though, they always seem to be eaten with in days!!! mackenzie2 - 2012-11-05 10:54:00 |

| 26 | What is the problem apart from making harder for yourself! Use whatever recipe you fancy, cut crusts off if you like or leave on. Roll straight, even on an angle..if bread not 100% fresh pop in Microwave for about 30 secs. Spread mixture on one edge, roll up and seal with marg! (Only time I use as a butter person!) Freeze for later use or cook within 24hrs, smouthered with butter! Pkt of grated cheese, onion soup or whatever takes your fancy, ideal milk, reduced cream, even straight milk, warm to mix. This makes at least 2 loaves of bread. More cheese the better, again choice not that important. kernal1 - 2012-11-05 19:15:00 |

Hey, I'm an Otagoite and spent my teenage years sampling cheese rolls, along with both mince and corn rolls in Dunedin coffee bars. Some are still there (Little Hutt in George St) and I introduced my eldest daughter to them a few years ago to their famous cheese rolls. She obviously never frequented the right places when a teenager. She loved them but I doubt they have been transplanted to BOP. Might have to make some next time I'm up there. kay141 - 2012-11-06 19:33:00 |

| 33 | I forgot to mention, they make over 2 bread loaves. This recipe came in very handy when daughter, who had planned a sleepover for her birthday that night, informed me her friends were coming over for lunch, a few hours earlier than planned. It didn't take long to wizz up, and the ones not needed were put in the freezer. Don't you love teenagers. flower-child01 - 2012-11-29 12:40:00 |

I have to say, next time I will stick to your recipe (which is more like his Mum's apparently) I made cheese rolls for the game last night for my Otago born & bred hubby. I used the reduced cream recipe & all I can say is YUCK!!!!! waste of grated tasty cheese. They were so sickly. I had the choice of evaporated milk, regular milk or reduced cream recipes I chose the wrong one...never again. Nothing like the cheese rolls I have eaten when down there visiting.

| 36 | The secret to a good cheese roll is to use the freshest sandwhich bread you can find spread the cheese filling on and roll.I roll from the edge with the crust at at the top and then fold into thirds. nadineb - 2013-09-22 16:17:00 |

| 47 | If you are following the recipe that bridget 107 has on here you will need more than one loaf of bread to make 25 rolls as there are only 17 slices in a loaf of sandwich bread. crazynana - 2017-09-30 16:40:00 |
