How To Make Pesto Rolls With Pizza Dough? Vegan Recipe
Pesto Rolls are nothing but rolls stuffed with pesto and baked to golden. These pesto rolls make a nice breakfast on the go and taste delicious on their own. This pesto rolls recipe in particular can be put together in a jiffy if you have some pesto on hand and a batch of frozen pizza dough. I had earlier posted All Purpose Pizza Dough recipe that you can use to make anything from pizza (of course) to garlic knots. I tried making these pesto rolls with that dough and it was an instant success. When i shared these pesto rolls with my neighbor, she wanted to learn how to bake them.
These rolls dont take more than an hour to bake if you have the dough frozen already. You can use any stuffing in place of the pesto that i used here. Even onion tomato chutney would work well for these rolls. We enjoyed these rolls straight from the oven and mangaed to gulp the entire lot in an hour’s time. ( That we kissed dinner good bye after that is another story) So i m not entirely sure as to how long these rolls will stay fresh. Before we check out the recipe for these pesto rolls, you may need the recipe for the pizza dough and the pesto. You can get the recipe for the pizza dough by clicking here and the recipe for the pesto can be found here and here. Also, these pesto rolls are my entry for January’s We Knead To Bake Group. I know i m more than a month late but this is what i made for January but got around to posting only now.
