Before You Begin
- 12 servings
- Prep: 25 mins
- Cook: 2 hours 25 mins
- Total: 2 hrs 50 mins
Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 1 cup Warm Water
- 2 ¼ tsp Yeast (One Packet)
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Oil
- 2 ½ cups Flour*
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 tsp Parsley Flakes
- 1 tsp Oregano
Pizza Rolls
- ½ Ball of Pizza Dough
- ¾ cup Pizza Sauce
- ½ cup Vegan Cheese**
Instructions
Pizza Dough
- Combine water, sugar, oil and yeast in a large bowl. Let sit for 15 minutes.
- Mix in flour, salt, garlic, parsley, and oregano. Mix until a ball forms.
- Knead dough by hand (or kitchenaid) for about 5 minutes.
- Coat dough ball with oil and lightly grease the bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place*** for 2 hours (or longer if you can).
- Take dough out of oven, punch down, and knead into a ball. Divide ball in half (each half makes 12 pizza rolls).
- You can keep unused dough in the fridge for one day, or store in freezer for a month.
Pizza Rolls
- Grease muffin tin and preheat oven to 425.
- Press dough into a long, thin rectangle about 15" long and 8" wide (feel free to tweak the size).
- Spread pizza sauce on dough, edge to edge is fine (more sauce is better).
- Top with cheese.
- Roll pizza dough into long tube and stick a few toothpicks through it to help it stay in place as you cut it.
- Cut the pizza roll into 12 slices, approx. 1 inch thick each.
- Put one slice of pizza dough into each muffin tin. Top with more spices and cheese if desired.
- Bake at 425 for 25 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days (but I promise you, they won't last that long).
Notes
- You might need to add a bit more flour (1/4 cup) if the dough is too sticky.
- **We use Follow Your Heart Pizza Shreds because we find they melt the best and taste the most pizza esque.
- ***I like to preheat the oven on the lowest temperature, then let some of the heat escape so it’s not too hot, and place the dough in the oven to rise.
- The garlic & herbs in the pizza dough is optional, but I highly recommend using it! It gives the dough a pizza-y flavour!
- Feel free to add your favorite pizza toppings inside the rolls or on top!
