Vegan Spelt Pizza Rolls

I’ve officially been on a cinnamon roll kick for a while now. Recently I’ve shared recipes for strawberry and carrot cake rolls and today I’m super excited to share a savory variation.

I wasn’t totally sure if this recipe for Vegan Spelt Pizza Rolls would work out…but I’m very happy to say that it more than exceeded my expectations!

I kept the fillings simple and just used onion, garlic, mushrooms and spinach but you could easily go crazy and add all sorts of veggies and/or faux meat. For the pizza sauce I used Eden Foods and went with Daiya Pepperjack for the cheese.

One thing to note- we ended up adding extra sauce on top when we ate the rolls and you may want to plan for that ingredient-wise.

Working on this recipe hasn’t done much to end my roll kick…now I’m dreaming up tons of other savory roll recipes so stay tuned!

Recipe type: entree
Cuisine: vegan
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 1 tsp dry active yeast
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1.5 cups spelt flour
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • dash of salt
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • ⅔ cup pizza sauce
  • ½ cup vegan cheese+ extra for sprinkling
Instructions
  1. Pour water into a small bowl and add yeast and maple syrup. Let sit for 10 minutes, until bubbles form.
  2. Stir in flour, 1 tbs olive oil and salt. Knead for 2 minutes. Dough should feel slightly sticky, add more water if needed. Place in bowl and cover with towel. Let rise for 45 minutes.
  3. While dough rises, heat 1 tbs olive oil in a pan at medium-high. Add mushrooms, onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes. Add spinach, sauté until wilted and set aside.
  4. Sprinkle a clean surface with extra flour. After dough rises for 45 minutes, punch it down and use a rolling pin to roll it out to rectangle ¼" - ½" thick.
  5. Spread sauce over dough, then layer onion/mushroom mixture and cheese. Start on one end, gently rolling dough into log. Spread a little olive oil over a knife and slice the roll into 1"-2" pieces. Place the pieces on a greased baking dish (I used 8" round). Place dish in a warm spot and let rise for 1 hour.
  6. Bake rolls at 375° for 20 minutes. Sprinkle extra cheese on top and bake for 5 more minutes. Serve warm.

  1. Hi 🙂 these look wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing! I can’t wait to see what you come up with next:)

  2. It sounds delicious. Is there any other way to make the dough to remove a step and / or make it less time consuming?

    1. Thanks, I think it’s super delicious! As of now, this is the most simplified version I’ve tried. If you’re looking to shave off a little time perhaps you could try pre-made pizza crust? 🙂

    1. Hmm, I haven’t tried it but perhaps you can try to omit the oil from the dough and add a little extra water? I’m not sure if the consistency would be great though! I wish I had a better suggestion but I haven’t tried it oil free!
