Description
These Vegan Caramelized Onion & Spinach Pizza Rolls are comforting, shareable, and made with caramelized onions and spinach, wrapped in a warm, herby pizza dough.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups bread flour
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium caramelized onions
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- About 3/4–1 cup warm water (as needed)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Whisk briefly.
- Add olive oil and warm water, stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Add more water if too dry.
- Knead on a floured surface for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 60–90 minutes.
- While the dough rises, slice onions and cook with olive oil over medium-low heat for 25–35 minutes until caramelized.
- Add spinach to the onions during the last 2 minutes of cooking and stir in nutritional yeast.
- Once dough has risen, punch it down and roll out into a rectangle.
- Spread marinara on the dough, leaving a border. Layer the onion-spinach mixture over the sauce.
- Roll tightly into a log and cut into eight pieces.
- Place rolls in a greased baking pan and let rest for 15–20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush rolls with olive oil.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Adjust filling moisture to prevent soggy rolls. The onion caramelization adds sweetness and flavor depth. Rolls can be frozen and reheated.
