The Easiest Pizza Rolls (3 ingredients, 20 minutes)
Recipe for quick and easy pizza rolls (vegetarian). They are super tasty and only require 3 ingredients to make. Ready in 20 minutes from start to finish!
¾pound(350 g) pizza dough, homemade or store-bought(homemade or store-bought, see note)
4tablespoonstomatoes with basil, from a can(or use your favorite marinara)
1cup(100 g) shredded low moisture mozzarella
Fresh basil(optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C), or to 375 °F (190 °C) if using a fan-oven. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a square, about 13x13 inches (30x30 cm).
Spread the crushed tomatoes on top of the dough. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella. I love to add some roughly torn fresh basil leaves, if on hand.
Roll the dough into a tight log, cut into 9 slices, and place them in the 8-inch square pan (no need to wait until they rise).
Bake for about 12 minutes or until the tops are golden. Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes, then serve with fresh basil on top (if desired).
Pizza rolls taste best on the same day, though they can be covered tightly and stored for a day at room temperature, or a few days in the refrigerator. If stored in the refrigerator, reheat to your liking.
Notes
Pizza dough: Use homemade or store-bought pizza dough. For the rolls in the photos, I used ¾ pound (350 g) of dough. You can also use 1 pound (454 g) dough if this is more convenient. If you use 1 pound of dough and bake the rolls in an 8-inch square pan, they will turn out to be pull-apart pizza rolls since they kind of grow together during baking, similar to cinnamon rolls. If you want them separately, simply bake them on a large baking sheet – make 12 rolls instead of 9 if using a large sheet.
