Pizza rolls – the star of every kids’ party! At our last team cooking session, we tried two versions: the classic ham & cheese filling and a vegetarian option with pesto & feta. For a Styrian twist, we refined the dough with pumpkin seeds & pumpkin seed oil – and even the flour was a true Styrian: Farina Universalmehl. The result? A big success – and not just with the kids!
- For the yeast dough, combine all ingredients in a large bowl and knead with a mixer (dough hook) or a stand mixer until a smooth dough forms. Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, prepare the pesto: Blend parsley, pumpkin seed oil, the zest of half a lemon, as well as salt, pepper or chili flakes with a hand blender. Season to taste. If needed, add a little more pumpkin seed oil until you reach a creamy consistency.
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C (fan). After the resting time, divide the pizza dough in half and roll out both parts to about 0.5 cm thick. Spread one half with tomato paste or strained tomatoes and evenly top with ham and cheese. Sprinkle with oregano or Italian herbs, then roll it up tightly like a strudel. Cut the roll into slices about 2 cm thick and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Press them down slightly – this makes the rolls look especially nice.
- Spread the parsley pesto over the second half of the dough and crumble the feta cheese evenly on top. Finally, sprinkle a handful of spinach leaves over it. Roll up the dough as well and cut into evenly sized slices. Place them on the baking tray and, if desired, add a little extra feta on top.
- Bake the pizza rolls for about 15–20 minutes at 200 °C (fan). You’ll have a delicious finger food that can be enjoyed both warm and cold. The feta rolls are especially tasty served with a sour cream–yogurt dip.
This is my tip
Cutting the rolls works especially well with kitchen twine. Simply place the twine under the roll and pull the ends over the top to slice evenly.
