Pizza Roses – Step by Step

Pizza Roses - Step by Step

A small twist on my famous Rose Rolls, these are what I now call Pizza Roses!! Gorgeous soft flowery rolls with a deliciously satisfying cheesy chicken filling, they taste just like rolled up pizzas and are so delicious especially when warm.
Note:  I have used my previous Rose Rolls Photo Collage, but have replaced pics 4, 8 and 12 to show the filling addition and final outcome of the Pizza Rolls. The rest of the shaping is exactly the same.
Servings 8 Roses

Instructions
 

  • For the dough, I used my basic pizza dough. You can use the same dough as the Rose Rolls, but I find this dough works best with a cheesy filling as it is a lighter-textured dough (no egg added to it).
  • Here is the dough recipe – Pizza Dough. (this dough makes around 8 Pizza Roses)
  • For the filling, I have used my basic Pizza Sauce, Spicy Chicken and some shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
  • STEP 1: Divide the dough into 8 sections and shape them into neat balls.
  • STEP 2: Now you can start shaping the Roses. Roll out each ball to about 4″ diameter.
  • STEP 3: Brush a bit of butter on the circle of dough. Make 4 diagonal slits, leaving the center intact.
  • STEP 4: Apply a thin coating of pizza sauce, some filling in the center and shredded cheese all over.
  • STEP 5: Take one of the sections and cover the side of the filling with it.
  • STEP 6: Take the opposite side’s section and cover the other side of the filling with it.
  • STEP 7 & 8: Repeat with the two last sections.
  • STEP 9: Pinch the dough on the side to seal it. Repeat until all rose-rolls are ready.
  • STEP 10: Place the prepared rolls on a greased tray.
  • STEP 11: Pre-heat your oven to 180 C. If using the Pizza dough, allow the roses to rest and double in size. If using the Rose Rolls dough, there will be no need to let the roses rise a second time. Brush each rose gently with egg yolk mixed with a tsp. of milk. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until tops are golden and rolls are ready.
  • STEP 12: Remove and brush them with melted butter. Keep them covered until time of serving so they stay soft. Enjoy your delicious Pizza Roses!!

    these are totally divine. Thank you so much for coming up with such original and fusion recipes. What would we do without you 🙂 This dough recipe only makes a few pizza rolls. If I wanted to make more, do I simply double the recipe in all the ingredients? or do I have to knead 2 separate doughs? secondly do you have any ideas for vegetarian filling. I am hosting a dinner party for a few non veg but 1 vegetarian also…. Thanks for your help.
