Do you wish to make easy Vegan Pizza Rolls

Notes about the ingredients

Flour. All-purpose flour will work wonderfully but for a slightly fluffier and chewier pizza crust, I recommend bread flour. Whole wheat flour will work but you may need to add a little more water to the dough.

Instant yeast is the easiest and quickest type of yeast to use. You can use another type of yeast, as long as you proof it beforehand.

Finely chopped vegetables. I used capsicum (bell pepper), mushrooms, spinach and sundried tomatoes. Anything that you would normally use on pizza will work. If you like mock meats, vegan pepperoni, sausage and ham would be perfect!

Vegan-friendly cheese (optional). I used a mozzarella-style vegan cheese but any cheese that you'd normally add to pizza will work. Sometimes vegan cheese doesn't melt on pizza due to the lack of steam. However, since the cheese is INSIDE the vegan pizza rolls, it's very likely to melt!

Tips for easy pizza dough

Making your own pizza dough is really easy! However, store-bought vegan pizza dough will work for this recipe.

To make the dough, simply throw all the ingredients into a stand mixer or large bowl and mix/knead until the dough is soft and stretchy.

My top tips are:

• The dough should be soft and slightly tacky but not sticky where it sticks to your hands. If needed, feel free to add a little more flour. However, keep in mind that the more flour you add, the drier your vegan pizza rolls will be. 
• The dough needs to rest for at least 30 minutes. Resting your dough results in a fluffier base with a more developed flavor. You can rest the dough for anywhere between 30 minutes at room temperature to overnight in the fridge.

Assembly tips

To assemble these vegan pizza rolls, we just need to make a pizza and then roll/cut them like cinnamon rolls! However, here are a few tips that'll make your life easier.

When topping your dough, don't add too many toppings as it'll make it difficult to roll up. Image 4 shows the maximum amount of toppings you can add!

Take your time to roll the pizza into a log. If your dough is very soft and difficult to cut, chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes.

For the best results, I recommend cutting your log with a very sharp knife or unflavored dental floss. A pizza cutter will work but it tends to squish the rolls.

Also, don't worry if your rolls look messy. They'll change a lot when they're baked!

Baking vegan pizza rolls

I baked these vegan pizza rolls spaced apart on a baking sheet. Each roll developed a nice crust and they were easy to serve!

Alternatively, you can bake them in a muffin pan or close together in a casserole dish.
