Pizza Rolls

I love the blog Our Best Bites. They have so many great recipes and occasionally an amazing giveaway. Recently I came across their recipe for Stuffed Pizza Rolls. I love pizza rolls. Every time my mom made her ginormous (really ginormous, 14 loaves at a time) batch of homemade bread she would make a pan full of pizza rolls.   I thought I would give the recipe on Our Best Bites a try. Very yummy, but I have to say the way my mom does it is so much easier. 

Pizza Roll Ingredients

1 batch of Bread Stick Dough: or follow the recipe below
1 1/2 cup warm water
1 Tablespoon Yeast (1/2 T. if using SAF yeast)
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 teaspoons salt
3 Cups Bread Flour (I use whole wheat flour)

Instructions:

Mix together warm water, sugar, salt and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes or until foamy, (unless using SAF yeast. SAF does not need to be proofed.)

Mix in the flour and knead for 3-5 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes.

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray your counter top with cooking spray then roll the dough so it is about 12 x 8 inches. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 24 squares.

Place desired toppings in the center of the square (sauce, ham, pineapple, olives, onions, cheese...) Make sure you are able to completely close the square by pulling the side up over the toppings.

Press seams of dough together to seal in the toppings. Carefully place seam side down, in a lightly sprayed pan.

Brush the tops with butter and then sprinkle with garlic supreme and Parmesan cheese.

Place the pan in preheated oven and bake for 15- 20 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Serve immediately with marinara sauce as dipping sauce.

*After rolling into a rectangle my mom would spread the sauce onto the dough and top with hamburger and cheese.  She would then roll it up starting with the long side, pinching the seam together to keep it shut.  Then using dental floss cut into equal pieces like you would a cinnamon roll. 

Place in a greased pan 1 inch apart. Lightly butter and sprinkle with garlic and Parmesan

(you can fill with pineapple, ham, pepperoni, onions, olives, or whatever else you can think of as long as you can roll it up.)

You end up with a roll that looks like a cinnamon roll but is filled with pizza toppings.
