How do you make a homemade pizza roll

1 answer

Making homemade pizza rolls is a fun and easy process! Here’s a simple recipe to guide you through it. You can customize the filling based on your preferences.

Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water (around 110°F or 43°C)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, for a slight sweetness)

For the filling:

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce (plus more for dipping)
  • Toppings (e.g., pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, cooked sausage, mushrooms, etc.)
  • Italian seasoning (optional)

For baking:

  • Olive oil or cooking spray (for brushing or greasing)
  • Cornmeal or flour (for dusting)

Instructions

Making the Dough:

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar (if using).

  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the warm water and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Assembling the Pizza Rolls:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  2. Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.

  3. Cut into Squares: Cut the rolled dough into squares (about 3x3 inches).

  4. Add the Filling: Place a spoonful of pizza sauce in the center of each square. Top with mozzarella cheese and your choice of toppings. Be careful not to overfill.

  5. Seal the Rolls: Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle (or rectangle) and pinch the edges to seal tightly. You can also use a fork to crimp the edges.

Baking:

  1. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the sealed rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.

  2. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the tops with olive oil to help them brown.

  3. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

  4. Serve: Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

Enjoy!
