Instructions

How to Make Savory Vegan Pizza Rolls

  • Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it activate for about 5-10 minutes until bubbly. In a larger bowl, mix flour, salt, and olive oil. Gradually add the yeast mixture, kneading until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Let the dough rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Caramelize the Onions: In a skillet, sauté sliced onions over low heat for 20-30 minutes until they turn deeply golden and sweet. Avoid stirring too much to prevent burning. When they're nearly done, add minced garlic and spinach; cook until the spinach wilts, then remove from heat.
  • Assemble the Rolls: Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Evenly spread the caramelized onion and spinach mixture, sprinkling nutritional yeast on top if desired. Tightly roll the dough into a log, slice it into 10-12 even pieces, and place them in a greased baking dish.
  • Bake: Cover the rolls and allow them to rise for an additional 20-30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until they're golden brown and the dough has cooked through.
  • Serve: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes, then enjoy them warm with the marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with fresh basil or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
