Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 500 g Strong white flour
  • 7 g Fast action yeast sachet
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil
  • 300 ml Tepid water
  • Alternatively, you can replace all of these items with 2x packs of pizza dough mix See notes

For the filling:

  • 120 g Tomato puree
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic granules
  • 200 g Cheddar cheese
  • A handful each of fillings Your choice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200℃ fan/220℃/Gas Mark 7.
  • Mix up your dough ingredients (or packet according to the instructions). Knead for 10 minutes by hand (or 4-5 minutes if using a machine) and then cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
  • Stir the tomato puree together with the dried oregano, garlic granules and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Roll out the dough to form a rectangle about 30cm x 40cm.
  • Spread the tomato puree mix over the top then scatter over around ¾ of the cheese.
  • Roll up the pizza tightly, rolling the longest edge to make a Swiss roll-style shape. (If the roll isn't sticking shut, you can brush it with a little water here and there.)
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the roll up into about 10 whirls (about 2cm thickness each).
  • Lay the rolls onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper, cover them with a tea towel and allow them to rise for a further 15 minutes.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until golden and risen then carefully add a small pile of the remaining cheese to the top of each roll and cook for a few minutes more.
  • Enjoy hot or cold.

Notes

Ready-made pizza dough: You can replace the homemade dough ingredients with x2 packs of pizza dough mix from the supermarket. Follow the packet instructions.
Pizza toppings/fillings: All of the usual pizza topping favourites work well, but don’t over-stuff them as they become a bit tricky to roll.
Serving suggestions: If you’re in a hurry, these are great on their own or with a quick side salad. But if you’re cooking these as part of a bigger meal, you could serve up Homemade Chips and Garlic Bread too.
To freeze: These would be best stored in the freezer BEFORE you bake them for another day, so they’re great for making ahead of time.
Nutritional value: This does not include your choice of fillings.
