Ingredients
  

Pizza Rolls

  • Pizza dough homemade or store-bough
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup Pizza Tomato sauce
  • Salt black pepper and oregano to taste
  • Fresh Basil leaves for garnish

Pizza Dough Recipe

  • 4 cup purpose flour
  • 1.25 cup Warm water
  • 2.25 teaspoon Instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoon salt

Homemade pizza sauce

  • 1 cup peeled tomatoes
  • 4 Basil leaves
  • Salt black pepper and oregano to taste
  • 1 Tablespoon of olive oil

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast and sugar and stir together.
  • Add the warm water and start stirring with a wooden spoon.
  • Add salt and start kneading with your hands.
  • To make a better dough transfer to a flat surface and knead for about 10 to 15 minutes. The result should be a smooth and elastic dough.
  • Let the pizza dough rest in the bowl covered with a cloth for about 1 1/2 hours. (you can skip this part if you use ready-made pizza dough).
  • When the pizza dough has risen just right, it should rise more than twice as high. Let's start making the tomato sauce that we'll use to top the pizza rolls.
  • In a bowl, combine the peeled tomatoes, basil, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano and whisk together.
  • Grate the mozzarella and set aside.
  • On a floured cutting board board, roll out the pizza dough with a rolling pin and form a rectangle not too thick.
  • Pour the tomato sauce over it, and with the help of a spoon spread it in the pizza dough. Add the mozzarella and oregano, I added half an onion.
  • Roll it up to form a sausage.
  • Seal well the edge after rolling the dough.
  • With a knife, cut the roll into slices a 1-inch pieces thick and place them on an oiled baking sheet. Cover with a cloth and let rise until the dough has doubled in size.
  • Preheat the static oven to 375 F degrees.
  • Before putting them in the oven, with a brush wet the pizza rolls with a little milk. Bake for about 25/30 minutes.
  • Our pizza rolls are ready.
  • Serve them while hot with some basil on top.

Notes

  • Resist adding too much filling, because it will be hard to roll the dough if there is too much stuff in it. Also, it will be a mess if the filling starts to run.
  • Don't forget to seal the edge after rolling the dough so it won't burst when cutting.
  • Add a pinch of sugar to your pizza sauce to reduce acidity and make it even more kid-friendly.
