My children love cheese and bacon rolls, which can be bought at any bread shop around Sydney (and probably all over the place, although not much comes up if you do a search, so maybe not - can you get them or something similar where you live?).They're a good snack while you're out and about, and they're also good for lunchboxes.
I've been planning to try and make them for ages, and recently my friend Carol gave me a cheese and bacon roll recipe that she uses to make them for her children.
First make some bread dough and leave it to rise. (See this bread recipe if you need it to get to this stage.)
Push out the air from the risen dough, then divide it into several pieces - I made 12. Roll them into oval shapes, put them on baking sheets and cover them.
Leave them for half an hour or so to puff up slightly. (Ideally put them all straight onto baking sheets so you don't have to disturb them again. I usually do, but on this occasion my second baking sheet was already in use!)
Brush the tops of the breads with beaten egg, then sprinkle over diced bacon...
...and grated cheese.
Cook at 200 C for around 15 minutes until the bread is golden.Best eaten still warm from the oven, but also pretty good the next day.
They freeze well, so you can make them, freeze them, and put them still frozen into lunch boxes, where they should defrost in time for morning tea or lunch.

The rolls look great, don't think we have them here - we do have cheese scones though.
Yes, while round, they are certainly here in Melbourne. LOL I think the 'bacon' may have forgotten what meat it came from in these parts though;) Yours look fab Arista! My children love the ham, cheese and pineapple versions - I really should give it a try:D I am so impressed Arista! Your children are very lucky:D
I sometimes make something similar, but do them as a scroll type thing - roll it all out flat, add the cheese, bacon and sometimes a bit of chopped spinach, roll it into a sausage and cut sections. Squash them down a bit and bake.
