Ingredients
- 500 g stored dough
- Homemade Pizza Sauce
- Shredded mozzarella or other pizza cheese.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Line a large baking tray.
- Stretch or roll the dough into a 20cm x 40cm (5mm thick) rectangle with the long edge parallel to the edge of the bench.
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 2cm gap along the closest long edge of the roll.
- Scatter over the mozzarella.
- Starting at the top of the rectangle (the long side) roll the dough towards you, tucking the dough into a scroll as you move.
- Finish the roll with the seam under the roll of dough.
- Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the dough into 3cm slices.
- Place the slices onto the tray and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the scrolls are golden brown.
- Remove from the tray and allow to cool on a rack.
Notes
I make these as simple tomato and cheese scrolls, but there is no reason why you cannot add your favourite pizza toppings before you roll the dough into a scroll. Just don't add to many toppings or the dough will become difficult to roll.
These scrolls can be baked as soon as they are placed on the tray. I have done so many times when in a hurry.
The baked scrolls freeze well, so are handy to have in the freezer for emergency snacks. Just zap in the microwave or warm gently in the oven.
