Method


HIDDEN VEGGIE SAUCE

Place all the veggie sauce ingredients into a pot and cook till super-soft, season to taste, and puree.

HIDDEN VEGGIE PIZZA SCROLLS

Step 1 To make the pizza dough, add yeast and water with the sugar and let sit for five minutes. In a large bowl, add the flour and the salt. Pour in the water and incorporate the ingredients until they come together - you could do this in a breadmaker and skip the next step.

Step 2 Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes).

Step 3 Put back in the bowl and cover. Leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume (half an hour to an hour).

Step 4 Gather your cheese and sauce supplies then punch the dough down and give it a quick knead. Roll out onto a large rectangle on a floured surface, about a centimetre thick.

Step 5 Cover the dough with the veggie sauce. Then add grated tasty cheese right to the edges, but leaving a strip about a centimetre wide down one of the longest sides.

Step 6 Roll up from the widest edge (sometimes I need a spatula or knife to help lift it off the bench if I've been a bit stingy with the flour) until you have a fat little roll.

Step 7 Slice crossways at one-inch intervals and lay them cut side down on a greased baking tray. Bake at about 180C for 10-15 minutes, or until dough is cooked through and browned. Best on the day they're made, but can be frozen.
