Yes PIZZA ROLLS! This is a combination of cinnamon rolls and pizza. I got the idea from better homes and gardens, but jazzed it up a bit. It's a basic pizza dough but seasoned with garlic, rosemary, basil, and red pepper flakes. This gives the dough some life, it layers in the flavor! They make the cutest rolls perfect for a informal gathering, or a kid's party. If making pizza dough isn't an option I know Safeway has pre-made dough in their deli area, it's a great deal for $1.89 and sometimes on sale for less!

Pizza Dough:
2 cups warm water (105-115*F)
2 packs active dry yeast
1/2 tsp sugar
6 cups flour-
1 TBS chopped Rosemary (fresh)
1 TBS garlic powder
1 TBS dried Basil
1 tsp Red Pepper flakes- more if you like some kick
1 TBS Olive Oil

Fresh Mozzarella sliced
8oz tomato sauce
6 oz sliced Salami
Sliced Olives
Sliced Mushrooms
8oz shredded Romano- for tops
Pizza Dough:
In a large bowl combine the yeast, sugar and water; let stand for 5 min until bubbly. Note: if you water is too hot it will kill the yeast! While the yeast is activating measure out the flour and all the spices and mix together. Once the yeast is ready add all the flour and spices. In a mixer mix with a dough hook for about 8 min on medium speed. If doing by hand, knead on a floured surface for 8 min or till smooth and elastic. Put in a lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat. Let sit in a warm place till doubled in size.
