Stuff Pizza Rolls

My husband loved these and ate them and said the mushrooms added nice flavor perhaps I am making progress in my fight against mushroom hatred but we will see.  The true victory is if he will like the mushroom pasta sauce that I want to make some day but we will see.  Any way these are super easy, quick and can be made in a lot of variation depending on the kind of pizza toppings you use/like.

Here's what you need.  Whatever pizza toppings you want.  I used mushrooms, pepperoni, and olives but whatever you like is great and a couple cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and pizza dough.  You can make your own or use refrigerated.  Usually I make my own but I was running late after work so I bought some.  I have found that whole milk mozzarella cheese is best but the thing that makes the most difference is shredding it yourself because when you buy the per-shredded cheese it is coated which prevents good melting. 

Start by rolling out the dough its okay if you have a few wholes you can patch them up.  Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into squares.  Depending on the number of toppings you have you will want the smaller or larger.  My squares were about 4x6.

Place a little of each topping and cheese on each square or make a variety depending on what your family wants.  I used two tubes of dough so I rolled it out twice.  I ended up with a few leftover that did not fit in my baking dish so I put them in a small casserole.

Pull the dough from all four corners over the toppings and place with the seam down in a baking dish.  They will not all be all neat and tidy but they will still taste good.  Plus that's how life is its not all neat and tidy there is a lot of messy bits in everything.

Brush will some melted butter or olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and some mozzarella and Parmesan (once again shred your own cheese).  Bake according package directions.  I baked mine for about 10-12 min at 375 but it depends but that's a good base to start from.

While they were baking a made a simple tomato sauce but you can use bottled if you like.  I used a can of tomatoes paste, two cans of water, a couple cloves of pressed garlic, Johnny's salt, fresh ground black pepper (from my cheap Costco pepper mill) and Italian seasoning to taste. 

Boy does that look good.  The picture is making me hungry.  Let it rest for a couple min if you can manage it.

Serve up with dipping sauce or not if you like and enjoy.  These are super easy and make a great snack, lunch, dinner, or appetizer.
