Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 pound sliced Italian cold cuts or beef beef pepperoni
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup salted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine 3/4 cup warm water, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast, whisking until well mixed.
- Incorporate 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt, using the dough hook to blend on medium speed until the dough forms. Adjust with more flour if needed to create a soft, tacky dough that doesn’t cling to your hands. Alternatively, mix and knead by hand.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it, and allow it to rise until it doubles in size, which should take about 1 hour.
- Transfer the dough to a clean countertop that has been lightly floured, then roll it out into a rectangle measuring 12 inches by 18 inches.
- Set your oven to preheat at 400°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Spread 1/3 cup pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Layer with 1/2 pound sliced Italian cold cuts or beef pepperoni, followed by 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning.
- Roll the dough up lengthwise, similar to a cinnamon roll. With a serrated knife, cut the roll into twelve 1 1/2-inch pieces and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup salted butter (melted), 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon dried parsley until well combined. Brush this mixture over the tops of the rolls.
- Bake the rolls in the oven for about 14 minutes, or until they are lightly browned on top.
- Serve the rolls hot, with extra pizza sauce on the side if you like.
Notes
TECHNIQUE TIP: Avoid overstuffing the rolls to ensure they bake evenly without spilling.
STORAGE: Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
SUBSTITUTION: Use beef beef pepperoni in place of Italian cold cuts for a different flavor.
