Your favourite food just got levelled up!
Pizza dough:
250g flour (I used a mix of whole wheat flour & plain flour)
160 ml warm water
7 g fresh yeast (3.5 g active dry yeast)
1 tbsp. olive oil + extra for greasing
½ tsp salt
​
Pizza filling:
1 onion, sliced
3-4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
7-8 button mushrooms, sliced
½ capsicum, sliced
1 tbsp. tomato ketchup
1 tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp oregano
Parsley, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil
Mozzarella cheese, grated
You will need:
3 hours Serves 4-5
​
-
Activate yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar.
-
Mix together flour and salt.
-
Drizzle over olive oil and yeast mixture.
-
Knead for 10 minutes.
-
Prove for 1 hour or until double in size.
​
​
-
While your dough is proving, sauté onions and garlic in some olive oil.
-
Add in tomatoes and sauté for a minute.
-
Add in mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes until all liquid has evaporated.
-
Add in tomato ketchup, chilli flakes, oregano and season with salt and pepper. Mix everything well.
-
Once you have a dry mixture, switch off the heat and add in the capsicum and parsley. Mix and let the mixture cool down completely.
Assembly
-
Once the dough has had its first proof, knead the dough lightly and roll it out to about 1 cm thickness on a well floured surface.
-
Dust off the excess flour and spread the filling evenly over the dough leaving half an inch of space on the top and bottom.
-
Grate mozzarella cheese over the top and begin to roll the dough tightly. Since my mozzarella cheese was too soft, I cut it into thin strips and layered them in as I rolled.
-
Once rolled, cut into about 5-6 cm wide pieces and arrange them vertically in a lined and greased baking tin. I used a 7” round tin.
-
Leave the pizza rolls to prove for the second time for about 45 minutes.
-
Finally, bake them off in a preheated oven at 190°C for 30 minutes or until golden brown on top. Add some extra cheese on top 10 minutes before it’s done. Enjoy them hot from the oven!
