Prep 10M | Cook 35M | Enjoy in 1H 15M

These veggie-loaded rolls are a healthier version of a kid classic. Make these pizza rolls on the weekend and heat them up as a quick lunch or snack throughout the week.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp canola oil

½ cup spinach

½ cup chopped red bell pepper

½ cup chopped mushroom

½ cup chopped onion

¼ cup chopped carrot

¼ cup chopped zucchini

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup marinara sauce

2 cups whole wheat flour (+ ¼ cup extra, to help with kneading)

1¼ tsp instant quick rise yeast

1 tsp granulated sugar

1 tsp salt

1 cup warm water

2 tbsp olive oil

½ cup pepperoni, thinly sliced or other meat (chicken, ham, cooked ground beef, etc.)

2 cups shredded mozzarella, divided

Directions:

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add spinach, peppers, mushrooms, onion, carrots, zucchini, garlic and marinara sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Blend sauce in a food processor until smooth. You may also use an immersion blender to purée sauce. Set aside.
  4. Combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt in bowl.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine warm water and oil. Add to flour mixture and mix until combined.
  6. Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes. If dough is too sticky, add more flour 1-2 tbsp at a time during kneading.
  7. Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean tea towel. Allow to sit in a warm area until dough has doubled in volume, about 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  9. Roll the dough out to a ½” thick square.
  10. Spread tomato sauce over the dough. Add pepperoni slices in a single layer. Sprinkle with 1½ cups of the cheese.
  11. Roll the dough up and slice into 10-12 pieces. Place into a greased muffin tin and sprinkle each piece with remaining cheese, dividing equally.
  12. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
