Difficulty

A nice and simple recipe for stuffed pizza rolls that will almost fill a complete baking plate.

Baking tools

You will need a baking plate and a bowl. A stand mixer or hand mixer can come in handy, but you can also knead the dough by hand without any issues. Also a rolling pin from our nice to have baking tools is recommended to get them in shape.

Steps

1. Mix

• Mix all of the mentioned ingredients except for the olive oil together in a stand mixer for 4 minutes on speed one and 8 minutes on speed two
• Add the olive oil after 5 minutes of mixing over the course of 3 minutes
• The dough should be elastic and smooth
• Info: It is also perfectly fine to mix all ingredients by hand for about 20 to 25 minutes

2. Bulk Fermentation

• Cover the dough and let it rest for about 2,5 hours at 20-22°C (68-71,6°F)
• The dough should double in size 

3. Shape

• Take a baking plate, cover it with parchment paper and place a small bowl in the center
• Punch down the dough to degase it a bit
• Divide the dough into 20 equal pieces (about 42 g per piece) and roll each one into a small ball
• Cover them with a clean towel so they don’t dry out while shaping one after the other

• Flour the surface a bit
• Roll the dough out to a rough circle of about 10 cm
• Place a bit of ham and mozzarella cheese in the center
• Gather the sides and pinch closed to create a ball
• Place each ball seam side down around the bowl on the baking plate
• Repeat the process for the other 19 dough pieces

4. Coat

• Remove the bowl from the center of the baking plate
• Brush the pizza rolls with olive oil on top
• Sprinkle Permesan cheese over all rolls

5. Bake

• Preheat oven to 220°C (374°F) for ~25 minutes with the upper and lower heat function
• Put the stuffed pizza rolls in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown
• After baking take your pizza rolls out immediately

6. Cool

• Sprinkle some parsley on top and place the small bowl with your favourite dip in the center
• Let your pizza rolls rolls cool for about 15 minutes and enjoy while still warm

Conclusion

Taste

These stuffed pizza rolls have a lovely soft and fluffy crumb. We stuffed ours with mozzarella cheese and ham. As the cheese is melting it is super creamy inside so we would highly recommend to use cheese as well. To add another texture, we brushed them with olive oil on top and then added grated Parmesan cheese.

A homemade and slightly spicy tomato sauce is the perfect addition but you can also enjoy them with ketchup, aioli, sour cream or a cheese dip.

Whether for the party night or for curing your hangover future self – these stuffed pizza rolls are the cure and super tasty!
