Pizza-Flavored Bread Rolls

Today I have a really original idea for you. I have prepared some delicious pizza-flavored bread rolls suitable for a rustic dinner and also great served as an appetizer. They are delightfully crunchy and easy to make. Everyone will love them, you’ll see. Including children.

Ingredients for 8 Pizza-Flavored Bread Rolls

  • 8 slices sandwich bread (square)
  • 8 slices prosciutto
  • 9 oz tomato pulp
  • 1 1/2 cups pizza mozzarella
  • 3 eggs (medium)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp grated Grana Padano (or Parmesan)
  • oregano
  • breadcrumbs
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt
  • black pepper

Tools

  • 1 Small Bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • 2 Deep Plates
  • 1 Baking Dish

Preparation of the Pizza-Flavored Bread Rolls

  • Place the tomato pulp in a small bowl and season it with a generous pinch of salt, a drizzle of oil, and plenty of oregano. 

  • Cut the mozzarella into small pieces: I recommend using pizza mozzarella as it is denser and releases less water during cooking.

  • Place a slice of sandwich bread on a cutting board and flatten it with the rolling pin to thin it out and make it more elastic (this way it won’t break when you roll it).

  • Spread a spoonful of tomato on the slice and add some mozzarella pieces.

  • Roll the bread to form a roll and wrap a slice of prosciutto around it.

  • Gradually place the bread rolls on a tray and transfer them to the refrigerator for about half an hour to firm them up a bit.

  • In a deep plate, crack three eggs. Add salt and pepper to taste and beat them with a fork until yolks and whites are combined. 

    Put some breadcrumbs in another plate. 

  • Dip the bread rolls first in the beaten eggs and then in the breadcrumbs. 

  • Pour the remaining tomato on the bottom of a baking dish and place the bread rolls on top.

  •  Finally, sprinkle them with grated cheese.

  • Bake the pizza-flavored bread rolls in a preheated static oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes plus a few minutes under the grill until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and serve immediately, piping hot. Enjoy! Paola
