Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose plain flour or bread flour plus more for dusting
- ⅔ cup warm water
- 2 ½ teaspoons instant dry yeast note 1 for different types of yeast
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or sub with more water
- 1 teaspoon sugar optional but helps the dough rise quicker
- ½ teaspoon salt
Toppings
- ⅓ cup tomato pizza sauce note 3 for alternatives
- 1 tablespoon dried mixed Italian herbs note 4 for substitutes
- 1 cup vegan mozzarella-style cheese optional
- ½ cup red capsicum (bell pepper) finely chopped
- ½ cup mushrooms finely chopped
- ½ cup baby spinach leaves finely chopped
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes finely chopped
Herb Oil (optional)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried mixed Italian herbs
Instructions
Prepare the pizza dough
- Add all the dough ingredients to a stand mixer (with the dough hook) or a mixing bowl. If using a stand mixer, knead the dough for 5-10 minutes. If mixing by hand, mix the ingredients in your bowl then invert the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth.
- The dough should be soft and slightly tacky but shouldn't stick to surfaces. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour and knead again. If the dough is too dry, add a dash of water and knead again.
- Place the dough in a clean bowl. Cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes to 1 hour until doubled in size.
Assemble the vegan pizza rolls
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper or generously grease a muffin pan or casserole dish with oil.
- On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a rectangle shape around 35 x 25 cm (14 x 10 inches) large. For bite-sized pizza rolls, roll the dough into a longer rectangle.
- Spread the pizza sauce over the dough. Sprinkle the herbs over the pizza sauce.
- Evenly scatter the vegetables and cheese over the dough. It doesn't matter what order you scatter them in.
- Starting from the long side, tightly roll the pizza into a tube. Use a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss to cut 12 or more equal pieces. If your dough is too soft to cut, chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Arrange the pizza rolls on your baking tray. Cover the rolls with a tea towel and set aside while the oven preheats.
- Preheat the oven to 205°C (400°F).
Prepare the herb oil
- In a small bowl, combine the herbs and oil. Use a pastry brush to brush some oil on top of each roll. Reserve the remaining oil.
Bake
- When the oven is ready, bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until they're golden brown. If making bite-sized pizza rolls, bake them for around 12-15 minutes.
- Cool the rolls for 5 minutes. If desired, brush with more herb oil. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious vegan pizza rolls by themselves, with some marinara sauce or your choice of dipping sauce.
- Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Notes
If you use dried yeast or regular yeast, you'll need to proof it beforehand. You can use whatever ingredients you'd normally use on pizza for example, zucchini, eggplant, olives, and artichokes. Instead of pizza sauce, you can use basil pesto, barbeque sauce, or olive tapenade. Alternatively, you can use a mixture of the following dried herbs: oregano, basil or dill.
