Ingredients
Gluten Free Pizza Rolls Ingredients
- 1 batch gluten free pizza dough (recipe linked)
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or more, to taste)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup freshly chopped basil
Instructions
- Prep Dough: Prepare the gluten free pizza dough according to the linked recipe. Follow through step 8 of that recipe, but instead of rolling into a 12-inch circle, roll the dough into a roughly 10×14 inch rectangle.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the rolls.
- Add Sauce: Evenly spread 1 cup of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on one of the long sides free of sauce. This will help the dough seal properly when rolled.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheeses evenly over the sauced dough, followed by the chopped fresh basil. You can also add optional toppings like mini pepperoni or red pepper flakes here if desired.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from the long side without the sauce border, tightly roll up the dough like a cinnamon roll. Using a very sharp knife, slice the roll into 12 even pieces to create individual pizza rolls.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the sliced rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, spaced apart to allow for expansion. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes after baking before serving. Enjoy warm as a snack or appetizer!
Notes
- You can add your favorite pizza toppings such as pepperoni, olives, or bell peppers to customize these rolls.
- Ensure the dough is rolled tightly to prevent the rolls from falling apart during baking.
- Use a very sharp knife for clean slices, which helps maintain shape.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before eating to avoid burning your mouth on hot cheese.
- These pizza rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
