The perfect snack to go

They come together in no time, so I often make a small batch, like 9 rolls as in this recipe. They make a quick weekday dinner and also travel well, which makes for a perfect lunch at work. Friends and family also love them at picnics and potlucks.

How to make them?

You can use store-bought or homemade pizza dough to make these pizza rolls. If I am in a hurry, I use store-bought dough, if I have a bit of time, I use my never-fail, easy pizza dough - with the overnight no-knead method or with a short 1-hour-rise.

Roll the dough out into a square and sprinkle with toppings. I prefer a simple topping of crushed tomatoes with basil and shredded mozzarella cheese. If I have some fresh basil leaves on hand, I add some leaves too. Of course, you can add your favorite toppings here – no limits!

Then, you need to roll the dough into a log, cut it into slices, distribute them in a pan or on a sheet, and bake them until golden. That’s all!

Prep Time8

Cook Time12

Total Time20

Yield: 9 rolls

Ingredients

¾ pound (350 g) pizza dough, homemade or store-bought (homemade or store-bought, see note)
4 tablespoons tomatoes with basil, from a can (or use your favorite marinara)
1 cup (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.
