# What You Need:
→ Dough
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 packet (7 g) instant dry yeast
03 - 1 teaspoon sugar
04 - 3/4 teaspoon salt
05 - 3/4 cup warm water
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Filling
07 - 3/4 cup halal beef or chicken pepperoni, diced
08 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
09 - 1/2 cup pizza sauce (check halal certification)
10 - 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
11 - 1/4 cup diced red onion
12 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
13 - 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
→ Topping
14 - 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
15 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
16 - 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional, ensure halal)
17 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
# How To Make It:
01 - In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm water and olive oil. Mix to form a soft dough. Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
02 - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
03 - Punch down the dough and roll out on a lightly floured surface into a 12x10-inch rectangle.
04 - Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle mozzarella, halal pepperoni, bell peppers, red onion, oregano, and basil evenly over the sauce.
05 - Starting from the long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
06 - Slice the log into 1-inch pieces and place cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Brush the tops with melted butter or olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Parmesan cheese (if using), and parsley.
08 - Bake for 18–20 minutes or until golden brown and bubbling.
09 - Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- These disappear faster than you can say touchback, even with people who swear they are not hungry
- The dough comes together in minutes and bakes into golden pillows that somehow taste even better than delivery
02 -
- Overfilling these rolls causes blowouts during baking, so resist the urge to add extra cheese
- A sharp serrated knife creates the cleanest cuts without squishing the log
03 -
- Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly and prevent the dough from seizing up
- Letting the baked rolls rest for 5 minutes helps the filling set slightly so they do not burst when bitten
