Pizza Rolls

Pizza Rolls:

Dough:

1 cup water 

1/3 cup oil

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 tbsp sugar

1 tbsp yeast

2 cups flour, divided

Additional Ingredients:

•Pizza sauce; divided (about 1 cup; more or less depending on your preference)

•Shredded cheese of your choice( about 2 cups or so)

  •Meat of choice( pepperoni, salami, ham, bacon...)

•diced onions and green peppers-optional

•Parmesan cheese

•clubhouse italiano seasoning (at least 1 tsp)

Place the first 5 ingredients in a mixing bowl. Stir with a whisk. Add 1 cup flour. Mix well; gradually add remaining flour about a 1/4 cup at a time. Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover with a tea towel and let rise until doubled.

Put dough onto a lightly greased counter-top. Roll out or stretch into a rectangle( like you would for cinnamon rolls). Spread pizza sauce onto the dough; probably the same amount as you would put onto your pizza. Sprinkle italiano and a generous amount of Parmesan cheese.  Dice your meat of choice( I like to use pepperoni or salami ) and sprinkle on top of the pizza sauce followed by veggies and/or cheese. 

Roll up like you would for cinnamon rolls. Pinch the dough together to keep the end closed. Cut into 1 1/2 inch slices. 

Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Press each roll down lightly with your hands.  Cover and let rise until doubled, about half an hour. 

Bake @ 350 for 15-20 minutes or until nicely browned. Quickly brush some additional pizza sauce on the outside of the baked pizza rolls with  a pastry brush. Then sprinkle some more shredded cheese on top and return to oven and bake for znother few minutes to melt the cheese. 

I like to double this recipe, when doing so I get about a dozen or so.
