Summary: I was lying in bed one Sunday considering brunch and wondering what I could make with the lovely home grown capsicums and tomatoes from Mr Asks parents when an idea struck! What if I used pre made pizza dough from the supermarket instead of making my own dough. These scrolls were the delicious result and they can be filled with anything you can imagine – bacon & leeks, cheese & tomato, ham & pineapple or the ever popular Vegemite & Cheese. We had these for brunch (I say that but I just ate them all day) but they would make a great lunch box treat.
Ingredients
- 1kg of pizza dough
- 125g capsicum, roughly chopped
- 1 tomato, roughly chopped
- 4 spring onions, roughly chopped
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 250g cream cheese, softened (low or no fat ok)
- 125g cheese, grated
Instructions
- Pre heat the oven to 190C.
- Flour or grease the bench and press or roll out the dough into a rectangle (around 25cm x 35cm). Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over the dough. If the cream cheese isn’t quite soft enough, microwave it for 30 seconds or so.
- Add the capsicums, tomato, spring onions, salt and pepper to a food processor or blender and blitz till a smooth paste. Spread this over the cream cheese and then sprinkle with half the cheese.
- Roll up the dough so it is one long log with the seam underneath. Slice into 16 even rounds by cutting in half and then cutting each half in half again until you have 16b rounds.
- Lay the rounds on a greased baking tray (I prefer one with a side, as per the pic), sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake for 30-40 mins or until golden brown and crispy at the edges.
