Ingredients

Base

  • Pizza Dough: 1 batch (store-bought or homemade)
  • Tomato Sauce: about 1/2 cup seasoned tomato sauce

Fillings

  • Mozzarella Cheese: 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded
  • Bell Peppers: 1 medium, chopped
  • Mushrooms: 1/2 cup sliced
  • Fresh Spinach: 1 cup roughly chopped

Toppings & Seasonings

  • Olive Oil: 1 to 2 tablespoons, for brushing
  • Italian Herbs (oregano, basil, garlic powder): 1 teaspoon total

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangular shape about 1/4-inch thick to create the base for your rolls.
  2. Spread the Sauce: Evenly spread a generous layer of seasoned tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border on all sides to seal the rolls properly.
  3. Add the Fillings: Scatter shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, and fresh spinach evenly over the sauce layer for balanced flavor and texture.
  4. Roll and Seal: Carefully roll the dough lengthwise into a tight log, pinching the edges to seal so the filling stays inside during baking.
  5. Slice into Rolls: Using a sharp knife, slice the log into individual rolls around 1 to 1.5 inches thick for perfectly portioned bites.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with Italian herbs, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh veggies and high-quality cheese make a noticeable difference in taste and texture.
  • Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can cause the rolls to burst open, so keep portions balanced.
  • Brush with Olive Oil: This step ensures a crispy, golden crust with an appealing sheen.
  • Chill Before Baking: For cleaner slices, refrigerate the dough roll for 15 minutes before cutting into rolls.
  • Experiment with Cheese Blends: Mixing mozzarella with parmesan or cheddar can add exciting flavor depth.
