Pizza Rolls Recipe are a superb picnic essential but also ideal for snacks as a main dish. These are so simple to make, even I can do it! The lovely contrast between the spicy pepperoni, the marinara sauce and the cheeses make these simply gorgeous. The gooey Mozzarella and the hit of mature cheddar adds body, texture and flavour without overpowering. I have served them with a salad, on their own, with dips and with extra marinara sauce on the top. Not surprisingly, they are lovely both hold and cold.

Ingredients

- 510 g flour all purpose
- 30 g unsalted butter
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 ¼ tsp active yeast instant
- 240 ml milk
Topping/Filling
- 200 g marinara sauce
- 500 g mozzarella cheese torn
- 250 g cheddar cheese grated
- 4 cloves garlic peel/minced
- 50 g pepperoni sliced or salami
- 2 tsp mixed herbs
Instructions
- Start with mixing the dough.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer add the yeast, flour and salt. Add the dough hook.510 g flour, 2 ¼ tsp active yeast, 2 tsp salt
- Place a saucepan over a medium heat and add the butter and milk. Heat up until the milk has warmed and the butter has melted.30 g unsalted butter, 240 ml milk
- Set the electric mixer to low and slowly add the milk and butter mixture. Continue to mix at this speed until the milk/butter has been added and then increase the speed to medium.
- Continue to mix for about 6 minutes until the dough has gone from dull and tacky to shiny and lovely and smooth. If it is not changing properly or is too wet, add a little more flour and continue to mix.
- Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and lightly oil the bowl with olive oil including a little over the dough. Return the dough to the bowl and cover with clingfilm and put to one side for around 90 – 120 minutes until the dough has doubled in volume.
- Once the dough has risen, remove it from the bowl onto a lightly floured work surface. Don’t worry, it will slightly deflate as the air is removed.
- Lightly dust a rolling pin and roll the dough into a rectangle measuring approximately 30 cm x 60 cm.
- 2 tsp mixed herbs, 4 cloves garlic
- Then a thin layer of homemade marinara sauce leaving about 2 cm from the edges.200 g marinara sauce
- Add the pepperoni and then the mozzarella and cheddar. This is a good time to add olives etc.500 g mozzarella cheese, 250 g cheddar cheese, 50 g pepperoni
- Line 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper/parchment paper.
- Using a pizza cutter or serrated knife, cut the rolled dough into 2 – 3 inch sections. Place the sliced pieces onto the baking trays leaving about 2 inches between them to allow for rising again.
- Cover the trays with a damp kitchen towel and leave for a further hour to rise again.
- Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas Mark 5.
- Place in the oven for 35 minutes or until they have turned a lovely golden brown. If you don’t have a fan oven you may need to rotate the trays halfway through cooking to ensure equal colour.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave to relax for about 10 – 15 minutes.
- Dig in and enjoy.
