Pizza Wheels (2 Way Meal)


This recipe is from the Whole Foods app, which is free and fabulous. The recipe was fairly easy to follow, and the result was a huge success. It's also what I like to call a 2 Way Meal, a dish that can be made both vegetarian and non-vegetarian at the same time, which is great when you're making something to share with the family or friends.

Ingredients:
Dough-
2 2/3 cup flour
2/3 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
2 tbsp olive oil
Topping-
2/3 cup tomato sauce
1 1/4 cup shredded cheese
1/2 cup chopped spinach
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped lunchmeat

Preheat the oven to 350°.

First, the dough. Of course you can use ready made pizza dough if you'd like. Combine flour, salt, and yeast. Then mix in milk and olive oil. Knead it out. You might have to add a bit more flour so the dough isn't too sticky.

Roll the dough out on a floured surface to an about 12x18 inch rectangle. Spread the tomato sauce over it, then sprinkle the cheese on. You can then add the toppings in the desired combinations. I added the lunchmeat and some spinach to half for my parents, then spinach to a fourth for me, and left the last fourth plain cheese for my sisters. You can do whatever you like best, make the whole thing vegetarian, add other toppings like mushrooms or olives or whatever, etc.

Roll the rectangle lengthwise, jelly roll style. Cut it into 16 slices. Make sure you get all the right toppings together! Then move them onto a baking sheet. The original recipe suggested lining the pan with parchment paper, but I just greased it and it worked out fine.

This stage might get a bit messy, so just do your best and don't freak if some rolls lose their shape or some toppings decide to escape.

 Bake until cooked through, about 25 minutes. Let them cool. Trust me, don't try to eat them straight out of the oven! Serve and enjoy.
