Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 batch pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, approx. 12 oz)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)

Filling

  • ½ cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup chopped bell peppers (red and green)
  • ½ cup chopped mushrooms
  • ½ cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (oregano, basil blend)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Preheat: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick, ready for the filling.
  2. Add the Sauce and Veggies: Spread an even layer of marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Layer the chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, and spinach evenly over the sauce.
  3. Sprinkle Cheese and Season: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the vegetables. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste, infusing the rolls with classic pizza flavors.
  4. Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough tightly from one long edge, forming a log. Using a sharp knife, slice into rolls approximately 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
  5. Bake the Rolls: Place the rolls cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil to achieve a crisp and golden crust. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes so the filling sets slightly, making them easier to handle and enjoy.

Notes

  • Do not overfill the rolls to ensure they hold together well during baking.
  • Use fresh vegetables for vibrant flavors and better texture.
  • Brushing with olive oil before baking gives the crust a beautiful golden color and crispness.
  • Let rolls rest briefly after baking to prevent the filling from leaking while eating.
  • Try mixing mozzarella with cheddar or parmesan to boost flavor complexity.
