Healthy Oat-Wholemeal Pizza Roll Ups

On Friday during my drive home after the school run, me and kids were chatting about what my son was going to make for dinner, as Friday is kids make dinner night in my house. My son suggested pizza, and then my daughter said calzones but wanted to make the dough themselves, so we decided on a compromise where we would a pizza/calzone cross by rolling up the pizza!

Pizza RollUps

Pizza dough is actually pretty universal, you can make pizza, garlic flat bread, calzones and now even pizza roll ups. You can add any pizza toppings of your choice, we only used vegetarian toppings but you can use meat if you wanted, or even keep it vegan by adding no cheese. If you are using no cheese, then when you place the roll in the oven, make sure the seal side is facing down.

Adding oats to the pizza dough is a great way to add additional healthy nutrients and reducing the amount of white processed flour used. However the white flour is what gives the pizza dough it’s unique texture and help the yeast activate.

Pizza dough making is such a great thing to do with your kids, helps them get involved, and hand kneading dough is a great way and time to spend sitting with your children and having a chat. You learn all the gossip that has been going on in school. Kids love making pizza dough in my house, as they make the dough and then add their own toppings too which some how gives them great satisfaction. Pizza RollUps
