Pizza Rolls

Here is the pizza roll recipe. Basically I use an artisan bread recipe then roll it out and spread my sauce (your favorite kind) shredded cheese, and any toppings you like! I used pepperoni this time, but have done garlic chicken with roasted red peppers too and loved them as well.

Artisan Bread

This is a no-knead bread

3 C VERY warm water

1 1/2 T yeast

1 1/2 T kosher salt

6 1/2 cups flour

Put water in bowl. Add yeast, salt, and flour. Stir til dough is just wet and mixed. Put lid on and leave for 2-4 hours til the dough has risen. My lid will pop off and I just keep sealing it each time I hear it pop!

Put in the fridge for at least an hour. (Though I have omitted this step if I want to bake it right away and it still does okay)

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.

For Bread:

When you are ready to bake a loaf, wet your hands and pinch of a small grapefruit sized ball of dough. Place on greased sheet pan. With a serrated knife make a couple of slices on top of the ball so the moisture can escape when it bakes. Let sit for 40 minutes then bake for 30 minutes. The high temperature is what makes it a crusty bread. If you want a softer crust bake at a lower temp for longer time.

When it comes out of the oven rub butter on top and slice!!

For Pizza rolls:

After the dough has risen, pour dough out on a flour covered surface. Use your rolling pin and flatten it out, just like you would do for cinnamon rolls. Spread pizza sauce on, cover with cheese. I also like to sprinkle seasoning on (i.e. garlic powder, onion powder, oregano). Place pepperoni on then roll up. Cut each roll with a serrated knife.

I bake them at 350 for about 20-30 minutes or depending on oven type.

For a quick lunch you can heat these up in your microwave for a minute at a time til heated through.
