Pizza Rolls and Dorot Frozen Herbs

Monday Night was our night to use up the random things in the house. We opted for pizza rolls! They were easy to make and so yummy. I put some in the freezer for a quick snack or dinner addition in the future. You can make your pizza rolls with any fillings you'd like. We also utilized the Dorot Frozen Herbs. I must say that I absolutely love this product and was ecstatic to find a variety pack at Costco! Needless to say I am going wild with my frozen herbs. My freezer is full of these fun little packages. Between shopping at the Linden Hills Coop and Costco I have every herb they make.

These are simple and easy treats. Enjoy!

1 Bag Bob's Red Mill GF Pizza Crust (Prepare per bag directions)

1 Jar Pizza Sauce

2 Cups Shredded Cheese

1 Cup Ham Cubes ( or any fillings you

enjoy)

1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 Dorot Garlic Cubes

2 Dorot Basil Cubes

1.) Prepare pizza crust to bag recipe. Divide into 3 sections. Wet a kitchen hand towel and lay flat on countertop or flat surface, place parchment paper over the towel - the wet towel keeps the parchment from moving while you roll our your dough. Using gluten fre

e all purpose flour, generously flour your surface and roll out one section of dough.

2.) Combine the Olive Oil and 4 Dorot Cubes and stir until fully combined. Using a pastry brush lightly brush the dough.

3.) Arrange your toppings. If using

sauce, add the sauce before the cheese. Leaving one area free of toppings to seal closed.

4.) Gently Roll into a long tube shape. Slice into 2 inch rounds and place in a muffin tin. Adjust size of rolls to fit your muffin tin.

5.) Brush Tops with Olive oil and Dorot Mixture.

6.) Bake at 400F for 20-25 minutes until tops become golden brown.

Enjoy While Hot!!
