Want to twist up the norm? then lets make some pizza that will taste as pretty as it looks!
Here is yet another take on the old kid favorite – Pizza! …. It can get pretty boring right? They always seem to want to eat the same stuff & even though there are plenty of topping options, I must admit, it’s not always as impressive!
Sure there’s my delicious Pizza Bombs, or the game changing Stromboli but sometimes we want a whole different kinda pizza, one that will make em say wow!
Imagine Cinnamon rolls – with a savory twist. You can add any fillings you like, if you have leftovers, even better – ThrifDee! Use this with my fool proof pizza dough & you’ve got a winner!
Ingredients
- 1/2 Lb Pizza Dough (I used my Fool Proof Pizza Dough Recipe)
- 1 egg beaten
- 3 Cloves of Minced Garlic
- ½ Cup Pizza Sauce (add more if needed)
- 3 Cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- ½ Cup Chopped Pepperoni, Mergez, Minced Beef (whatever filling you're using)
- 1 Cup Black Olives (Optional)
- 2 Tsp Italian herbs
- Salt & Pepper To Taste
Instructions
- Transfer your fool proof dough to a floured work surface, and roll it into a rectangle approximately 12 inches by 24 inches.
- Spread the minced garlic across the dough followed by a thin layer of pizza sauce, then cheese and toppings.
- Be sure to leave a narrow margin around the edges uncovered it will stick after.
- Starting with a long edge, gently roll the dough into a log keeping it tightly together but careful not to tear the dough.
- Once rolled into a log, slice the rolls 3” thick with some butchers string, or any clean yarn you have in the home.
- Set them on a baking tray lined with baking paper, Spacing the rolls about 2 inches apart.
- Add a pinch of salt & pepper to the egg-wash, brush all over the rolls and sprinkle some Nigella Seeds (If using)
- (AT THIS POINT YOU CAN REFRIGERATE TO BAKE OFF THE FOLLOWING DAY IF YOU WISH)
- Cover the tray, and allow the rolls to rise until they're puffed up, about 45 minutes -1 hour. (depending on how hot your kitchen is).
- Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven.
- Uncover the baking tray, & bake the rolls for 35 to 40 minutes, until they're a deep golden brown. Rotate the tray during baking so they can get golden brown all over.
- Remove the tray from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Enjoy!
These are as pretty as they are tasty! You can dress them up or down however you like and serve them as a main or a entree with a dip!
