Pizza Rolls

Born from my love of bread and pizza. This is a pretty yummy snack or dinner.

Roll Dough:
1 cup warm milk
1 Tbl yeast
2 Tbl sugar
3 Tbl butter, softened
1 large egg, beaten
1 tsp salt
3 cups flour

Pizza Fillings:
1 (6oz) can tomato paste
dry seasonings (oregano, basil, Italian Seasoning, garlic)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup sharp cheddar
1 cup cooked sausage crumbles
1 cup mini pepperoni
1 (3.8oz) can sliced olives

In mixer bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm milk, sprinkle sugar over yeast, let sit until bubbly. Add butter, egg, salt and flour. Mix until well combined. Knead. Turn out into oiled bowl, cover and let rise until doubled. In small bowl, mix tomato paste and seasonings to taste.

Punch down dough, turn out onto floured surface and roll out to 12″x20″ rectangle. Spread tomato paste mixture evenly over dough. Sprinkle cheeses, sausage crumbles, mini pepperoni, and olives. Roll up gently to keep filling in place and seal edge. Cut (I use a thread to neatly cut through) into 12 rolls. Place rolls in sprayed 9″x13″ pan (or can use a 10″x15″ pan). Let rise about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until browned on top and bread looks well baked. You can sprinkle a little cheese on top and put back in the oven for a couple minutes to melt. Eat just as is or you can dip in marinara sauce.

P.S. These Pizza Rolls warmed up the next day are just as delicious! I put the leftover rolls on a piece of foil in the oven preheated to 300° and baked until warmed through. Serve with green salad, yum!

Supreme Pizza Ring

I know, I know…I have a thing about wrapping stuff up in bread. It seems to make people happy, so I think I will continue doing it.

Pizza Dough:
2 pkg (4½ tsp) dry yeast
1½ cups warm water (110°)
4 tsp sugar
4 Tbl olive oil
1½ tsp salt
4 cups bread flour

Pizza Fillings:
1 Tbl olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1 (14 oz) jar pizza sauce, divided
3 cups shredded mozarella cheese, divided
1 (4 oz) bag mini pepperoni
1 cup cooked sausage crumbles
1/2 cup bacon bits
1 (3.8 oz) can sliced olives

Sprinkle yeast over warm water, sprinkle sugar over yeast.  When yeast if foamy, add oil, salt, and flour.  knead.  Let rise in warm place until doubled.  Sauté onion and peppers in 1 Tbl oil until tender, set aside.

Roll out dough to a rectangle approx. 20″x12″.  Spread 1/2 cup pizza sauce over dough.  Layer filling ingredients in order:  1½ cups cheese over sauce, then pepperoni, sausage, bacon, olives, and onion mixture.  Sprinkle another 1¼ cups cheese over toppings (save about 1/4 cup cheese for top if desired).  Roll up, starting with a long side, pinch seam to seal.

Place seam side down on a silpat lined or sprayed baking sheet, pinch ends together to form a ring.  With kitchen scissors, cut from outside edge to two-thirds toward center of ring at about 1″ intervals. Separate strips slightly, twist to allow filling to show.  Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.  Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crust is done.  Sprinkle remaining cheese on top for last 5 minutes of baking if desired.  Serve with remaining pizza sauce for dipping.  Pull apart, dip, and enjoy!
