Ingredients:
For the Pizza Dough:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the Filling:
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers)
For the Dipping Sauce:
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions:
- Activate the Dough Magic: In a small bowl, combine active dry yeast, sugar, and warm water. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This step activates the yeast, setting the stage for a fluffy pizza dough.
- Mix, Knead, and Rise: In a large mixing bowl, combine the activated yeast mixture with flour, olive oil, and salt. Knead the dough until it forms a smooth, elastic ball. Place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour or until it doubles in size.
- Roll and Assemble: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and your favorite toppings, ensuring an even distribution.
- Roll with Precision: Carefully roll the dough into a log, making sure it’s tightly packed. Seal the edge by pinching the seam. Slice the log into equal-sized rolls, creating bite-sized pizza delights.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the pizza rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Whisk Up Dipping Delight: While the rolls bake, whisk together marinara sauce, garlic powder, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). This dipping sauce adds an extra layer of flavor to complement the pizza rolls.
- Cool and Dive In: Allow the pizza rolls to cool slightly before serving. Arrange them on a platter with the dipping sauce on the side. These bite-sized wonders are perfect for sharing at gatherings or savoring as a tasty snack.
- Share the Joy: Share the joy of Homemade Pizza Rolls with friends and family, and watch as these irresistible treats disappear in no time. Each roll is a burst of pizza perfection that brings the flavors of your favorite pizzeria right to your home
