Homemade Pizza Rolls

Pizza Rolls

9 ounces (about 1 2/3 cups) bread flour
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water

1/2 pound Italian sausage, cooked, cooled, and finely diced
1/4 pound low-moisture mozzarella, finely diced
1/2 cup prepared pizza sauce

Probably need to roll dough thinner - to 5 instead of 4.  

Also: try with pepperoni.

Update: the original recipe calls for frying the pizza rolls, but I've had success baking them at 375 - 400 degrees (my oven runs hot) for 10 minutes. 

Pizza Dough

Alton Brown's Pizza Dough recipe

Said to be the Only Pizza Dough Recipe you'll ever need.

PIZZA PIZZA
Makes two 10-inch pizzas

9 1/2 ounces bread flour, plus 1/2 cup or so for rolling
1 teaspoon instant yeast (not rapid rise)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons olive oil (not extra-virgin), plus more to brush on the dough
3/4 cup warm water (100-105 degrees F)
Your favorite sauce and pizza toppings

Alton's recipe goes through all the steps to make the dough in a stand mixer using a dough hook; I just dump everything into my bread machine on the dough cycle.  

In either case, once it's made, put in an oil coated bowl, and let rise overnight in the fridge.  (Side note: letting just about any pizza dough rise overnight will improve it's flavor).

To make the pizzas, divide dough into two parts and let rest 30 minutes.  Stretch \ roll dough out using your favorite method (again Alton goes into a lot of detail about the best way to do this, but think of a pizzeria tossing the pizza in the air) until it's about 10 inches.

Brush the edge of the dough with oil, then top as desired.  Bake at 500 for 5 - 7 minutes.  Let rest a few minutes before cutting.

Coconut Flour Pizza Crust

3 eggs
1 cup coconut milk
½ cup coconut flour
2 tsp. onion powder
½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. oregano (optional)
1 clove minced garlic

375, 15 - 20 minutes  Should be rather runny.  Remove from oven when browned, flip over, and add toppings. Bake another 5 - 10 minutes.
