Pizza Rolls

Homemade pizza rolls! Fill your pizza rolls with whatever toppings you want and satisfy that pizza craving for a fraction of the cost of ordering out.

Like most kids, my kids could eat pizza just about every day.  However, ordering out for pizza is expensive and everyone wants something different.  I’ve seen many versions of pizza rolls on other blogs and product websites.  Most use some sort of pre-made refrigerated dough for the crust, but I like to make my own pizza dough.  These pizza rolls do not have the sauce rolled up in them.  I roll up the pizza toppings in the dough and we dip our baked pizza rolls in home made pizza sauce.  You can use whatever toppings you want.  My kids usually just want pepperoni and cheese, but my husband and I prefer something else.  Below you’ll see the two kinds I made last night, but feel free to change it up and add what you what!

Let’s start with the pizza dough.  You can make it by hand, but I use my stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.  After mixing all the dough ingredients together according to the recipe below I add the last cup of flour while the mixer is running and a low speed.  I add enough of the remaining flour to make a sticky dough.  As you can see that even though the dough is still sticking to most of the bottom of the bowl the side of the bowl are semi-clean.  Remove the dough from the dough hook and cover the bowl with a clean dish towel to let rise for about 20 to 25 minutes.

After about 20 to 25 minutes the dough will be a little more than doubled.   While the dough is rising prepare the pizza toppings.  We had pepperoni, canadian bacon, mozzarella, olives, mushrooms, red onions, and sausage.  I lightly saute the onions and mushrooms with the browned sausage.  After the dough has risen, dump it out on a floured surface, knead in a little more flour until the dough is easy to handle.  Divide the dough in half.  Roll the first half out into a 8×12 inch rectangle.  Sprinkle the toppings you would like on the dough.

Try not to go to heavy on the topping because it will make it harder to roll up.

Roll up the dough width wise jelly roll style.  Slice into 12 slices and place them on a lightly greased baking sheet.  I personally use dental floss to cut the slices because it gives a nice clean cut.  Just get a long piece of floss, slip it under the dough roll about 1 inch in, cross the floss ends like you are going to tie a knot, and pull.  Repeat with the other half of the dough.  Bake the pizza rolls at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes.  They should be lightly browned.  Let them cool slightly before serving.  While they are cooling make the pizza sauce.

Add the last cup of flour a little bit at a time until a sticky dough forms. Clean the dough off the hook and cover with a clean dish towel. Let rise for about 20 to 25 minutes.
2. While dough is rising, preheat your oven to 350 degrees, lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray, and prepare your pizza toppings.
3. Once dough has a little more than doubled in size, dump it onto a floured surface and knead just until dough is manageable and no longer sticky. Divide in half.
4. Roll the first half of the dough out into an 8×12 rectangle. Top with desired toppings. Roll up width wise jelly roll style. Slice into at least 12 slices and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with other half of the dough. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly before serving.
5. For the pizza sauce, mix the tomato sauce and Italian seasoning together and heat in the microwave for about 1 minute. Serve with the pizza rolls.
