Making the Dough for Pizza Bombs
- In a large bowl, mix the water and brown sugar, and then add the yeast. If you’re using fresh yeast, wait until the mixture is completely dissolved. If you’re using dry yeast, wait until the yeast starts to foam and float at the surface. This could take several minutes.
- Add the salt and vegetable oil and stir until thoroughly mixed.
- Next, measure and add half of the flour to the yeast and water mixture. Stir until completely integrated before adding the rest of the flour.
- In this pizza roll recipe, you will need to knead the dough with your hand for about two minutes, or until there are no clumps and the dough is smooth and bouncy. While the dough should be a little sticky, you can always add more flour if it’s too sticky to peel off your fingers.
- Form the dough into a ball, cover the bowl with a towel or board, and sit for one hour or until the dough has risen.
- After an hour, deflate the dough and knead again for another two minutes.
- Now, the dough needs to sit again for another hour. Form the dough into a ball and cover it in a bowl with the towel or board.
- Deflate the dough and knead it once more on a countertop surface. Feel free to sprinkle flour onto the surface to prevent it from sticking.
- Cut the ball into smaller chunks of equal size. For larger homemade pizza rolls, each ball should be around 50g. If you want to make smaller homemade pizza rolls, cut the dough into 25g each. Use a kitchen scale to measure out the balls.
- Roll each piece of dough until it’s a smooth, round ball.
- Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten each piece of dough into a round circle. Try to make the dough thicker in the center and thinner around the edges (so you can easily seal them once the filling is added).
Adding the Filling for Homemade Pizza Bombs
- In this pizza roll recipe, we’ll be making vegetable pizza bombs and ham and mozzarella pizza bombs, although you can add any topping or filling of your choice. Place a spoonful of the filling mixture into the center of the flattened dough circle. Be careful not to place too much filling, or else you’ll have a tough time closing the pizza bombs.
- With your fingers, lift the edges of the dough and pinch them together, sealing the filling inside.
- After the homemade pizza rolls are completely sealed, flip them upside down, so the seam is facing down. With your hands, shape the balls into round circles, pinching together any holes or weak spots. You want to try and make them tall (like little mountains), as the pizza bombs will flatten a little while baking.
- Place all the completed pizza bombs one inch apart onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
- Cover the homemade pizza rolls with a cloth and let them sit once more for another hour.
Baking the Pizza Bombs
- Preheat your oven to 350°F or 180°C.
- Crack one egg into a small bowl and beat with a fork or whisk from Sur La Table.
- Add a teaspoon of water and mix.
- This pizza roll recipe calls for a clear egg wash, which means you’ll want to strain the beaten egg mixture through a colander. Discard the foam/remnants of the egg that did not pass through the strainer.
- Using a silicone kitchen brush, lightly cover the pizza bombs with the clear egg wash.
- Place the tray in the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the pizza bombs are golden brown. Then, serve on your favorite serving tray.
