Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • Stand Mixer optional

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 3 cups (360g) all purpose flour
  • 1 packet yeast, (2 ¼ teaspoon [7g])
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) organic granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) vegan butter, melted
  • ¾ cup + 1 tablespoon (200ml) nondairy milk, unsweetened and unflavored

Filling

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons (45g) tomato sauce
  • 1 cup (112g) vegan cheese

Topping

  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) olive oil, for brushing
  • Vegan parmesan
  • Extra tomato sauce for serving

Instructions
 

  • Pour the flour into a large bowl. Stir with a whisk or sift to remove any clumps. Add the yeast and mix together with a spoon. Then pour the sugar and salt in and mix together. Note: if you only have active dry yeast proof the yeast according to package directions with ¾ cup + 1 tbsp nondairy milk and the sugar.
  • Make a well and pour in the melted vegan butter and ½ cup of nondairy milk. If using the active dry yeast add that in now. Mix with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Gradually add the rest of the nondairy milk while mixing. Then knead the dough with clean hands in the bowl and once it is starting to form a ball turn it out onto a clean surface. Knead for 5 minutes or until the dough has formed a smooth ball. Add a bit of oil to the bowl, coat the dough, and cover to proof for 1 hour.
  • After it has risen remove the dough and use a rolling pin to roll it into a large rectangle. Keep the dough about ¼ inch thick and my rectangle was about 16 inches long and 9.5 inches wide.
  • Spread the tomato sauce across the dough. I prefer to only add a little and then serve for dipping later. The more you add the harder it may be to roll the dough.
  • Then sprinkle the vegan cheese across the dough. Then, use your hands to push the cheese into the dough a bit to help it stick better.
  • Using both hands roll the dough up as you would a cinnamon roll.
  • Once rolled up use a sharp knife to carefully cut 12 rolls.
  • Place them in a oiled baking dish (9x13) and cover with a dish towel. Let them rise for a half hour.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
  • After they are done rising and oven is preheated bake pizza rolls for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Once they are done, brush with oil if desired and remove from the pan after 5 minutes of cooling.
  • Garnish with vegan parmesan cheese and serve with extra sauce.
