Ingredients

Dough

650 g Leftover Sourdough Pizza Dough (see notes for link to recipe if you need it)

For the filling

80 g Pizza Sauce (store bought or make your own pizza sauce here)
180 g Shredded Cheese Mozzarella, Cheddar, Parmesan - a blend is great!
200 g Diced Bacon or Ham
80 g Pepperoni

Instructions

Grab your leftover dough!

I have used a 650g portion of Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough for this recipe. You can make a batch specially to make this recipe or just use leftovers. 650g is approximately half the sourdough pizza dough from my recipe. If you are using a full batch of pizza dough, just double the filling quantities below.

Rolling and Filling the Dough

Grab your leftover dough (if it's been in the fridge, let it sit out for a bit to warm up as it will be easier to work with).
Gently roll the dough out into a rectangle. 60cm x 30cm is a good size to aim for. It doesn't have to be perfect, but the bigger you an get it, to more perfect swirls you will get.
Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 5cm gap on one of the long edges. You need to leave a gap so that dough will stick to itself when you roll it.
Now sprinkle over the mozzarella, bacon and pepperoni so that it covers the area of dough spread with the sauce.
Once the filling is spread, roll the dough into a log, starting on the opposite long edge to the gap you've left.
Roll the dough into a tight log, using the unfilled dough to seal the log. You can spray a little water on the part where the dough joins if you want to - but the dough should stick to itself without it.
Lay the log out with the seam underneath. Sprinkle some semolina flour if the dough seems a bit sticky.
Cut the log into 3cm pieces. I use the side of my knife to roughly measure. Using dental floss to cut them will help you keep their shape and give the rolls a flat surface, but using a knife is totally fine too!
Place the sourdough pizza rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can also make these in a cast iron skillet if you prefer, but they will join together.

Second Rise (Proofing)

Cover the baking tray with a plastic bag or tea towel and allow the pizza rolls to get puffy. This may take a while if you're using only sourdough starter, or be a little quicker if your dough contains yeast. Once the dough is puffy, you can bake them straight away - or see baking timeline above to extend the second rise and hold them in the fridge overnight.

Baking

Once the rolls are puffy, it's time to bake them. Preheat your oven to 180C/356F.
Bake rolls for 20 minutes at 180C/356F.
Once they're finished baking, remove from the baking sheet and place them on a wire rack to cool.

Notes

This recipe uses the dough from this Sourdough Discard Pizza Recipe.

You can use any type of cheese you like for these - I have used a blend of mozzarella, cheddar and red cheese (because that's what I had on hand!). Use what you have :-)
