Ingredients
  

  • 3 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 tsp dry active yeast
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Wake Up the Yeast
    In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/3 cup warm water with 1 tablespoon honey, then sprinkle in your yeast. Give it a gentle stir and let it sit for 5–10 minutes.
    You’re looking for a foamy, bubbly top—like the head on a beer. If it stays flat, your yeast didn’t make it (better to restart now than waste ingredients later!).
  • Make the Dough
    Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, add salt, and pour in the remaining warm water. Give it a good mix.
    Gradually add the flour, stirring as you go, until a sticky, shaggy dough forms.

  • Knead & First Proof
    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and give it a quick knead—just enough to smooth it out a bit.
    Grease a clean bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, pop the dough in, and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it proof in a warm spot for 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

  • Shape the Dough
    Punch down the dough to release the air, then place it on a floured surface. Roll it out into a thin, large rectangle—aim for even thickness throughout.

  • Add the Filling
    Spread a generous layer of sweet chili sauce across the entire surface of the dough—use the back of a spoon for smooth, even coverage.
    Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top, then press down lightly to help it stick.

  • Roll & Slice
    Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log (like a thick dough snake).
    Slice into 12 equal scrolls, or adjust to your preferred size (about 3–4 inches each works well).

  • Second Proof
    Arrange the scrolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving a bit of space between each one.
    Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise again in a warm spot for about 1 hour.

  • Bake to Golden Perfection
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the plastic wrap and bake the scrolls for 15–18 minutes, or until golden on top and cooked through.

  • Serve & Enjoy
    Let them cool slightly (if you can wait!) and enjoy them warm. Perfect for snacking, sharing, or pairing with a cozy drink.
