- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup water (adjust as needed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni (or other toppings like bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for added heat)
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, oregano, and basil. Stir well until the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Add the water and olive oil, mixing with a spoon or your hands until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. Add more water or flour as needed.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Roll out the dough to about 0.5 cm thick and cut into squares of about 10 cm x 10 cm.
- In a separate bowl, mix the pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, pepperoni, and Parmesan until well combined.
- Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough square, being careful not to overfill.
- Fold the dough squares over by pulling the corners to the center and pressing the edges together to seal the filling inside.
- Place the filled rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush them with the beaten egg.
- Bake the pizza rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving.
