Tips & Variations

  • Try using different cheeses like cheddar or fontina for a unique flavor twist.
  • Add some red pepper flakes to the filling for a spicy kick.
  • Use fresh herbs like basil or oregano instead of parsley for different herbaceous notes.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with a gluten-free blend suited for baking.

Storage

Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through to keep the crust crisp and cheese melty.

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the rolls to a golden finish.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper to form the base for the dough.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and stir until a rough dough is formed.
  4. Knead Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-4 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic, which helps develop the gluten for a tender roll.
  5. Roll Out Dough: Roll the dough into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle to prepare for spreading the filling evenly.

  12. Cool & Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes to set before serving.
  13. Enjoy: Serve your cheesy baked vegetable rolls warm as a delicious snack or appetizer.

Notes

  • You can substitute mixed vegetables with your favorites or seasonal veggies for variety.
  • Make sure the water is warm but not hot when mixing the dough to activate the baking powder properly.
  • Brush the rolls with butter just before baking to achieve a golden and flavorful crust.
  • These rolls can be reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick snack later.
  • If you prefer a spicier filling, add a pinch of chili flakes or chopped jalapeños.
