Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For the Filling:
- 1/2 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 1 cup vegan mozzarella or shredded plant-based cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped vegetables (bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, olives)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Optional: red pepper flakes for heat
For Brushing:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder or Italian seasoning
Instructions
1. Prepare Dough:
In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2. Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Roll Out Dough:
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
4. Add Filling:
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle vegan cheese and chopped vegetables. Season with oregano, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes.
5. Form Rolls:
Carefully roll the dough from one long edge into a tight log. Slice into 1-inch thick rolls and place on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up.
6. Brush & Bake:
Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder or Italian seasoning. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
7. Serve:
Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
