Ingredients
 
 

Pizza Dough

  • 500 g all-purpose flour or pizza flour
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 250 ml warm water
  • 7 g dry yeast or 21 g / 0.75 oz fresh yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Tomato Sauce

  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 8 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp dried oregano or pizza seasoning or Italian herb mix
  • 1 clove garlic pressed
  • ½ tsp salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Filling

  • 1 red onion finely chopped
  • 140 g corn 1 small can, drained
  • 40 g olives pitted and sliced
  • 20 fresh basil leaves whole or finely chopped (alternatively, frozen basil or Italian herbs)
  • 150 g vegan cheese grated

Instructions
 

1. Pizza Dough

  • Mix the flour and salt in a bowl.
  • Make a well in the middle and pour in the warm water.
  • Crumble in the fresh yeast or add the dry yeast.
  • Also, add sugar and olive oil.
  • Knead for approx. 10 minutes using a kitchen machine to form a smooth dough (alternatively use muscle power) and then shape into a ball and place back in the bowl.
  • Cover the bowl with the ball of dough (with a damp cloth, a lid or cling film) and leave to rest in a warm place for approx. 1 hour until the dough has doubled in size (or leave to rise in the fridge for approx. 12 hours).
  • Meanwhile, prepare the sauce and filling.

2. Tomato Sauce

  • For the sauce mix all the ingredients (tomato puree, water, olive oil, sugar, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper) in a bowl.

3. Filling

  • For the filling, you can mix all the ingredients in a bowl in advance while the dough is resting, i.e. chopped onion, corn kernels, olive rings, basil, and vegan cheese. Or you can top everything one after the other, just as you like.

4. Pizza Rolls

  • Now it's time to make the pizza rolls: roll out the risen dough on a lightly floured work surface. The dough should be in the shape of a rectangle and not too thin, but also not too thick (approx./max. 0.5 cm = 0.2 inches).
  • Spread the sauce over your dough rectangle using a spoon, leaving a good 2-3 cm (1 inch) free at the top long edge.
  • Next, spread the filling: again, nothing goes at the top, and please don't fill all the way to the left and right edges, otherwise most of it will fall out when rolling.
  • Now roll up the dough from the bottom long edge. Make sure that you roll everything up as tightly and compactly as possible.
  • Cut the "sausage" into slices approx. 3 cm (tiny bit more than 1 inch) thick and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper, cut side up (or down). Leave a little space between the slices, as they will still rise.
  • Now heat the oven to 200°C (390 F) top/bottom heat (or 180°C = 355 F air circulation) and leave the pizza swirls to rest for approx. 30 minutes.
  • Bake the pizza rolls on the middle rack for approx. 20 to 25 minutes until they are turning golden brown.
  • Once baked, allow cooling slightly and enjoy warm (or even cold).

Notes

  • Yield: This recipe makes approximately 12 pizza rolls.
  • Amount of vegetables: Use a total of about 1 to a maximum of 1½ cups of vegetables. Too much filling will make the pizza rolls difficult to roll up.
