Pizza rolls Italia

The perfect party snack from the oven or grill

Crispy dough, savory tomato sauce, melted cheese, and hearty salami – these pizza rolls are true finger food bliss.

Ideal for BBQ parties, birthdays, or as a potluck dish. They can be prepared in advance and turn out perfectly both in the oven and on the grill using indirect heat.

Ingredients

  • 500 g fresh pizza dough

  • 125 ml passata (strained tomatoes)

  • 1 ball mozzarella

  • 100 g grated cheese (e.g., Gouda or Emmental)

  • 1 egg (for brushing)

  • 8–10 cherry tomatoes

  • 80–100 g air-dried salami

Spices:

  • 1 tsp oregano

  • ½ tsp basil

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • Salt & pepper


Preparation

1️. Prepare the dough

Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into approximately 6 x 6 cm squares.

2️. Season the sauce

Mix passata with oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

3️. Fill

Place a small spoonful of sauce on each piece of dough.

Cut mozzarella into small pieces and place on top along with some salami and halved cherry tomatoes.

Tip: Don't use too much filling – otherwise, the rolls will burst open.

4️. Shape

Fold the corners up and press them together firmly.
Place seam-side down in a lightly oiled baking dish.

5️. Brush & Bake

Brush with whisked egg.

Bake at 200 °C top/bottom heat or on the grill with indirect heat for approx. 18–22 minutes, until golden brown.

Sprinkle with grated cheese about 5 minutes before the end and finish baking.


Serve

Let cool briefly – they taste best warm!

Perfect with aioli, herb quark, or simply plain.


💡Tip

  • Also available vegetarian with peppers, olives, or mushrooms
  • Ideal for preparation – store cool before baking
  • Leftovers also taste great cold
