Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
- ¾ cup warm water (110°F / 43°C)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup pepperoni slices
- ½ cup bell peppers, chopped
- ½ cup mushrooms, sliced
- ½ cup spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ½ cups pizza sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the dough by combining warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture and mix until the dough comes together.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Shape into a ball and allow to rise in a lightly oiled bowl for about 1 hour.
- Make the filling by mixing mozzarella, pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
- Assemble by spreading pizza sauce on the dough and distributing the filling mixture evenly over the sauce.
- Roll the dough tightly from one long edge and pinch the seams to seal.
- Cut the rolled dough into 1-inch thick pieces and place in a greased baking dish cut-side up.
- Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic and onion powder.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil and extra pizza sauce on the side.
Notes
Allow the dough to rise until doubled in size for optimal texture. Don’t overstuff the fillings.
