Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and butter. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add milk to the flour mixture and mix with a spoon until it forms a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
Roll the dough out into a rectangular shape, approximately 30cm x 40cm.
Spread the tomato paste evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1cm border around the edges.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the tomato paste, followed by the chopped ham and diced pineapple.
Sprinkle the dried oregano over the toppings for an added burst of flavor.
Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Use a sharp knife to trim the edges and then slice the log into 12 even pieces.
Place the scrolls onto the prepared baking tray, cut side up. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to help them achieve a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the scrolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow the scrolls to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
