Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Dough

  • Store-bought or homemade pizza dough (enough to roll into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick)

Fillings

  • Fresh tomato sauce, enough to spread a thin layer on the dough
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup spinach or kale, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Olive oil, for brushing and sealing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a clean, floured surface into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking and a perfect golden crust.
  2. Spread Tomato Sauce: Generously spread a thin layer of fresh tomato sauce over the dough, leaving about an inch bare along one long edge to allow for sealing the rolls later.
  3. Add the Fillings: Evenly scatter the chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, and spinach over the sauce. Sprinkle minced garlic, dried oregano, and shredded mozzarella cheese on top to build flavor and texture.
  4. Roll and Seal: Starting at the long edge opposite the bare strip, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Use a little water along the bare edge to seal the roll effectively.
  5. Slice and Bake: Slice the log into 1-inch rolls and place them cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use fresh veggies and herbs to maximize flavor.
  • Do not overfill the rolls to make rolling easier and prevent leaking while baking.
  • Chill the dough briefly after rolling if needed to help keep its shape when sliced.
  • Brush the rolls with olive oil before baking for enhanced browning and crispness.
  • Bake on parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
