Ingredients
Instructions
- Press the frozen pizza dough into an 18 x 13-inch lightly oiled pan.
- In a frying pan, heat olive oil and sauté garlic, onions, and bell peppers for a few minutes.
- Cover and reduce heat to low, then cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is tender and not watery.
- Allow the pepper mixture to cool completely.
- Spread half of the mixture lengthwise down the center of the dough.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the mixture.
- Fold one side of the dough over the filling.
- Repeat with the other side, folding it over the first fold to form a rolled pizza.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding cooked Italian sausage or pepperoni to the filling for extra flavor. If you want a vegetarian option, consider incorporating spinach or mushrooms into the vegetable mixture. You can also use store-bought pesto for added richness instead of some olive oil. Ensure the dough is fully thawed for easier handling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your rolled pizza with a side salad for a complete meal, or pair it with marinara sauce for dipping. A light Italian bean bake complements the dish well. For a refreshing drink, consider a chilled white wine or a sparkling water infused with lemon.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover rolled pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. This method helps maintain the crust's crispness compared to microwaving.
