Pizza Rolls

Like a cinnamon roll... only instead of cinnamon and sugar, it's filled with pizza!

These little delicacies are inspired by the New Glasgow Farmer's Market.


Pizza Rolls

Pizza dough


- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 1 Tbsp dry yeast
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 cups flour


Pizza filling

Pizza Roll Ingredients

How to make them



Make the dough: 

1. Combine all pizza dough ingredients. Kneed for a few minutes.

2. Allow the dough to rise for 1 hour in a greased bowl. For this step, I let my oven preheat to 200, then turn it off. I then let the dough rise in the oven. This ensures the dough stays warm, but doesn't start to cook. Also, do make sure the bowl is greased - it makes it much easier to clean. 

3. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and kneed it on a floured surface. 

4. Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Try to get the dough fairly thin so that it will hold lots of toppings and roll several times. Alternatively, you can just buy some pizza dough and roll that out instead.


Add the pizza toppings: 

5. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce onto the dough.

6. Add your pizza toppings, spreading them out evenly.


Make the pizza rolls:

7. Starting from the long side of the rectangle, start rolling the dough away from you. Roll it tight to keep the toppings in place. Once you finish, press the end of the dough into the roll to seal it.

8. Cut the roll into ~1 inch pieces. I prefer to cut using a length of thread, as shown in this video

9. Place all the pizza rolls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. On top of each pizza roll, add an extra spoonful of pizza sauce, followed by a little more grated cheese.

10. Bake in a 450 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.
