Ingredients

For the Pizza Dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp instant yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Balsamic Mushroom Topping:

• 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh thyme
• 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
• Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pizza Dough

In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Step 2: Sauté the Mushrooms

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until golden brown. Add garlic, balsamic vinegar, and thyme. Cook for 2 more minutes until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Assemble the Pizza Rolls

Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread mushroom mixture evenly, then sprinkle with goat cheese, spinach, and mozzarella. Roll tightly into a log and slice into 1-inch pieces.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Place pizza rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and cheese is bubbly.

Step 5: Create Flatbread Variation

For flatbread pizza, roll dough into oval shapes. Top with mushroom mixture and bake directly on pizza stone or baking sheet for crispy crust.
