Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Dough & Sauce

  • 1 batch of store-bought or homemade pizza dough (about 12x10 inches rolled out)
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce

Cheese and Vegetables

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup sautéed mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves

Seasonings & Finishing

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Dough and Sauce: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle about 12×10 inches. Spread an even layer of marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
  2. Add the Filling: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce. Top with diced bell peppers, sautéed mushrooms, and fresh spinach. Add a light dusting of Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper for that quintessential pizza taste.
  3. Roll and Seal: Starting with the long edge closest to you, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, using the edge to help seal it. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into evenly sized rolls, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush the tops lightly with olive oil, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let your Vegetarian Pizza Rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps the cheese set slightly and avoids any burn risks. Dip in extra marinara sauce or your favorite pizza dip to elevate every bite.

Notes

  • Spread vegetables and cheese evenly to ensure every roll has a perfect balance.
  • Don’t overfill to avoid difficult rolling and filling leakage during baking.
  • Brush the tops with olive oil for a golden, crispy crust.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice rolls gently but firmly to keep them intact and neat.
  • Preheat the oven to ensure even cooking and a crispy crust.
