Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 packet instant yeast (about 2 ¼ teaspoons)
- ¾ cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Filling:
- 1 cup BBQ sauce, plus more for serving
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup diced red onion (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Add warm water and olive oil, stirring until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll Out the Dough: Roll the dough into a 14×9 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
- Add the Filling: Spread the BBQ sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Evenly distribute the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, and diced red onion over the sauce.
- Roll and Cut: Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces.
- Let the Rolls Rise: Place the rolls into a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise for 30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pizza rolls for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve the rolls warm with extra BBQ sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Golden Finish: Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil before baking for a golden, crispy texture.
- Spice It Up: Add a little hot sauce to the BBQ sauce if you want a spicy kick.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro or green onions for added flavor and color.
