Pepperoni, Sausage, and Pesto Pizza Rolls
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 32 min
Serves: Makes 8 pieces
Ingredients:
- 1 pack Farm Boy™ Pizza Dough thawed overnight in fridge
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup Farm Boy™ Marinara Sauce plus more for serving
- ½ pack Farm Boy™ Fresh Basil Pesto
- 1 cup sliced pepperoni
- 2 Farm Boy™ Artisan Sausages removed from casings, cooked, and crumbled
- 1 ½ cup Farm Boy™ Italian Blend Shredded Cheese divided
- ¼ Parmigiano Reggiano plus more for garnish
- basil leaves for garnish
- Farm Boy™ Organic Crushed Chili Peppers for garnish
Directions:
- Grease a 9” cast iron skillet or round baking pan.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a 16” x 10” rectangle. Dimple dough lightly with your fingers, then spread olive oil all over the surface.
- Spread ½ cup Farm Boy™ Marinara Sauce over dough, then dollop Farm Boy™ Fresh Basil Pesto all over, spreading gently.
- Arrange pepperoni slices and crumbled sausage over pesto and then sprinkle with 1 cup Farm Boy™ Italian Blend Shredded Cheese and Parmigiano Reggiano.
- Roll up from the long edge, pinching the edges closed. Cut across into 8 pieces.
- Arrange rolls, cut side down on prepared pan, spacing them out as you can. Let pan rest for 20 minutes to allow for the dough to rise a bit. At this time, preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then sprinkle remaining ½ cup Farm Boy™ Italian Blend Shredded Cheese. Return to the oven and bake for 10-12 more minutes, or until cheese is golden brown.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with 2 Tbsp Parmigiano Reggiano, basil leaves, and Farm Boy™ Organic Crushed Chili Peppers. Serve with a bowl of Farm Boy™ Marinara Sauce for dipping.
