1-Getting started with Homemade Pizza Rolls: begins with mixing your dough ingredients until they’re just combined, then kneading for about one minute until smooth add a bit more flour if needed to get the right consistency. Let the dough rise until it expands by about 75 percent, which takes around 5 hours for yeast dough in mid-70°F temperatures or 9 hours for sourdough. Once risen, preheat your oven to 425°F and roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick, trimming the edges to form a neat rectangle.

2-Next, cut the rectangle into 4-inch wide strips and place spoonfuls of the filling along one side, leaving space between each portion. If the dough feels dry, brush the perimeter with a little water to help it seal. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges firmly to close them, then press between the filling piles to separate the rolls, poke small holes for steam to escape, and cut them apart.

3-Arrange the rolls on parchment-lined baking sheets, brush the tops with oil, butter, or a beaten egg for that golden finish, and sprinkle with oregano and grated cheese.

The whole process, including assembly which takes about 30 minutes, makes this a rewarding project for home cooks.
