Pizza Roulade
A pretty easy pizza appetizer.
Servings: 20 servings
Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 175 ml warm water
- 3 grams active or instant yeast (1 teaspoon)
- 256 grams "00" flour
- 9 grams salt
- 60 grams additional "00" flour
The Fillings
- pepperoni
- shredded mozzarella
- Italian Seasoning
Other
- Marinara Sauce
- Ranch Dressing
Instructions
The Dough
- Combine the water (175g) and yeast (3g) in a bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. If using active yeast, let sit until bubbly, 5-10 minutes. If using instant yeast, proceed.
- Mix about 5 minutes, by hand or with a dough hook. If still too sticky, add flour a tablespoon at a time until smooth.
- Put dough in an oiled bowl, turn to coat, and let rise about an hour.
The Filling
- Divide the dough into two equal pieces and stretch out into a square, roughly 12" square.
- Sprinkle with Italian Seasoning. Add mozzarella to cover. Add pepperoni. Add some more cheese.
- Roll up into a log, tightening as you go. Pinch to seal and fold under the ends.
- Repeat with the second.
- Place on a parchment-lined sheet-pan and cover lightly. Let rest for 30 minutes until puffy.
The Baking
- Heat oven to 400℉ / 200℃.
- Cut/snip small holes in the top of the roulades every couple of inches to let steam escape.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Let rest for 10 minutes then cut into slices. Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing or whatever you like.
Notes
- I plan on trying one of these as ‘vegetarian’ with onions, peppers, and mushrooms as a filling instead of pepperoni.
