Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
  • 1 cup plant based milk warmed to 110F/43C
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons dehydrated potato flakes
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup cornmeal for pan optional but recommended
Filling
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or more or less
  • 1-2 cups vegan cheese
  • 1-2 cups fillings of your choice

Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing bowls and spoons
  • Chef’s Knife or pizza wheel
  • Extra flour for dusting
  • Rolling Pin

Method
 

Make the Dough
  1. Proof the yeast. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warmed plant based milk, stirring well. Let the yeast proof for up to 10 minutes.
  2. Add the ingredients. Add the olive oil, sugar, potato flakes, all purpose flour, and salt. Mix well until a soft dough ball forms. Knead for 5 to 10 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth.
  3. Rise. Lightly spray the bowl with oil and place the dough ball in the bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Shaping and Baking the Pizza Rolls
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F/205°C. Place the oven racks in the middle of the oven.
  2. Prepare the pan. Lightly grease an 8x10-inch (20x25-cm) baking pan with oil and dust the bottom of the pan with the cornmeal. Set aside.
  3. Shape the dough. When the dough is ready, sprinkle your work surface with flour and turn the dough out. Using your hands or a rolling pin, begin to shape the dough into a rectangle. Stretch and flatten until you have a dough rectangle that is about 10x20-inches in size.
  4. Fill. Spread the teaspoon of olive oil over the dough first. Then add the pizza sauce. Finally, cover with the vegan cheese and your fillings of choice.
  5. Slice. Before rolling, slice your dough into 8 equally sized strips of dough. Then roll them up. Place them in the prepared pan.
  6. Bake. Bake the pizza uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, depending on how full your pizza rolls are filled. The rolls will have an internal temperature of at least 190°F/80°C when done. Remove them from the oven, serve, and enjoy!!
