Rollie uppy pizza



There is not much you need to do to make pizza appealing to kids, but these were promising that you could freeze them and  cook  from frozen, so I had to try them.

The dough is just garden variety white dough;
1kg strong white flour
1T salt (mixed into the flour)
625 ml warm water 
1T caster sugar
3 sachets of quick yeast or 3 T dried yeast

Pour the water into a well in the flour, add sugar and yeast and mix until you form a dough. Knead for about 5 - 10 mins until you have a silky dough and achieve a zen like psychological state (!) and leave to prove in an oiled basin covered in cling film in a warm place. I used to use the tumble drier, until I broke the thermostat by not letting it cool down! Now I just use the hot press.

Then make pizza sized discs and spread  your toppings on only half the dough, and roll them up. Sealing them well.
We never got to freezing them as the hungry horaces in my family ate them all! 

The kids were quite adventurous with the toppings this time, maybe because they were wrapped up. But you dont need masses of filling either. as the cheese melts into the sauce.
They were gorgeous. I had cherry tomatoes in mine which were so juicy but also volcanically hot, so be careful!
