Ingredients For the pizza dough:
Advertisement
• 2 ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast (1 package) • 1 ¼ cups warm water • 1 teaspoon sugar • 3 cups all purpose flour • 1 teaspoon salt • 2 tablespoon olive oil
For the sundried tomato pesto:
• 1 cup sundried tomatoes (packed in olive oil, preferably) • 3 cloves garlic • ¼ cup walnuts (lightly roasted) • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Vegan Pizza Rolls
For stuffing
• 3 cups vegetables (like bell peppers, sweet peppers, cherry tomatoes or regular tomatoes, zucchini, baby spinach, etc. Chop into bite-sized pieces or slice) • 4 oz vegan mozzarella shreds
Optional
• 2 cups vegan marinara sauce (instead of pesto)
Instructions
1. Make the pizza dough: 2. Place the yeast in a bowl with the sugar and 1 cup water. Whisk to mix and let it stand five minutes until frothy. 3. Add the flour, mix, then add in the salt and the olive oil. Knead the dough, trickling in more water, if necessary, no more than a tablespoon at a time, until you have a smooth, pliable ball of dough. Set aside to rise for an hour in an oiled bowl.

Vegan Pizza Rolls
4. Make the sundried tomato pesto: 5. Place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until you have a coarse paste. 6. Assemble the rolls: 7. Spray or brush a 10-inch cast iron or non-stick skillet or a cake pan with oil. 8. Roll out the pizza dough into a 16 by 12 inch rectangle. If it's too difficult to roll, cover the dough with a kitchen towel to let it relax, wait five minutes or so, and then roll it out.
9. Layer the veggies over the dough, going all the way to the edges except one long seam where you will seal the dough. Scatter the mozzarella shreds, if using, over the veggies. 10. With the long side of the rectangle facing you, roll the dough gently -- like you would a jelly roll, until you have a long cylinder. Press in the seam along the long side to seal. 11. With a sharp knife, cut the cylinder into eight pieces. Place them in the skillet or baking pan. If veggies fall out as you lift the rolls into the pan, scatter them in the middle and over the top of the rolls. They'll look really pretty as they bake. 12. Cover with a kitchen towel and set aside in a warm place for an hour to rise. 13. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. 14. Bake the pizza rolls in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until golden.
Remove, cool on a rack for five minutes, then serve by themselves or with marinara on the side
