Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3/4 cup warm water

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup vegan mozzarella or cashew-based cheese
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce or pizza sauce
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup olives, sliced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Toppings:

  • Sesame seeds
  • Nutritional yeast

Instructions

1. Make the Dough:

  • In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add olive oil and warm water gradually, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  • Knead lightly for 2–3 minutes, then cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling:

  • In a bowl, combine vegan cheese, tomato sauce, diced bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.

3. Roll Out Dough:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

4. Add Filling & Roll:

  • Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border on the edges.
  • Roll the dough tightly from the long side to form a log.

5. Slice & Bake:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Slice the log into 1–1.5 inch rolls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds or nutritional yeast on top.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve:

  • Let cool slightly before serving. Perfect warm as a snack or alongside a salad.

Tips for Perfect Vegan Pizza Rolls

  • Don’t overfill: Too much filling can cause leakage while baking.
  • Seal edges well: Press the dough edges gently to keep filling inside.
  • Even slicing: Use a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.
  • Optional crispiness: Brush tops lightly with olive oil before baking.

Variations

  • Spicy: Add red pepper flakes or vegan pepperoni slices.
  • Mediterranean: Use sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and spinach.
  • Cheesy: Mix vegan cheddar or parmesan alternatives with the filling.
  • Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free flour blend for the dough.

Serving Ideas

  • Serve as party appetizers or after-school snacks
  • Pair with vegan marinara or ranch dipping sauce
  • Great for meal prep—reheat in the oven or air fryer for a crispy snack
