Pizza Rolls
Yields 10-12 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 ball pre-made pizza dough
- 1 C Pepperoni (chopped)
- ½ C red onion (chopped)
- ½ C green pepper (chopped)
- 1 C mozzarella (shredded)
- 1/3 C parmesan (shredded)
- 2 T fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 T basil (chopped)
Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 can crushed tomatoes
- 1 can tomato paste
- 2 T olive oil
- 1 t minced garlic
- 1 t dried basil
- 1 t dried oregano
- 1 t onion powder
- 1 T Italian seasoning
- 1 scoop Vital Proteins® Beef Bone Broth Collagen
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. In a cast iron skillet or baking dish, lightly grease with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- In a small saucepan, heat oil and minced garlic together until lightly browned. Then, add in all the other ingredients for the sauce and cook on medium heat. Once it begins to lightly boil, remove from the stove, and set aside.
- Roll out the pizza dough until it forms a rectangular-like shape. Begin by spreading a layer of pizza sauce throughout the stretched dough.
- Next, start layering the pizza dough with the rest of the toppings until it is evenly distributed.
- Then roll up the dough tightly to form a log. Cut into 10-12 rolls and place each roll on the baking dish.
- Sprinkle with extra parmesan and basil. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top of the rolls begin to brown.
- Remove from the oven, add more toppings as desired & enjoy!
