These Vegetarian Pizza Rolls are a quick and easy handheld snack bursting with fresh vegetables, gooey mozzarella cheese, and aromatic Italian herbs wrapped in a golden, soft pizza dough crust. Perfect for a snack, appetizer, or light dinner, they take less than 30 minutes to prepare and bake, making them an ideal option for busy days or casual meals.

Ingredients

Base

  • Pizza Dough: 1 pre-made or homemade dough ball (about 12 oz)
  • Tomato Sauce: 1/2 cup
  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon for brushing

Vegetables

  • Bell Peppers: 1/2 cup, chopped
  • Mushrooms: 1/2 cup, sliced
  • Spinach: 1/2 cup, chopped
  • Olives: 1/4 cup, sliced

Cheese & Herbs

  • Mozzarella Cheese: 1 cup, shredded
  • Italian Herbs (oregano, basil): 1 teaspoon combined

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick to create the perfect base for the rolls.
  2. Spread the Sauce: Evenly spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to help seal the rolls later.
  3. Add the Toppings: Scatter chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, and olives evenly over the sauce. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese and a pinch of Italian herbs on top.
  4. Roll and Slice: Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 equal pieces to form the classic roll shapes.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each. Lightly brush them with olive oil and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melty.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables and herbs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overfill the rolls to prevent sogginess and difficulty sealing.
  • Allow the rolls to rest a few minutes after slicing to help them hold their shape better during baking.
  • Brushing with olive oil ensures a golden, crisp crust.
  • Serve the rolls warm from the oven for the best taste and melty cheese experience.
