Sometimes I like to pull the stop out a bit when it comes to lunches in our house. We don't always want a bowl of soup, or a salad, or a sandwich. Sometimes we want something a tiny bit more special than that, but at the same time, not overly hearty! Pizza Rolls fit the bill on all counts!
I got some of these tasty Pik-Nik Twiller Mozzarella Snacks the other day and they are perfect for eating out of hand or for using in these easy to make and quick Pizza rolls!
Pik Nik Twillers Snacks are fun to eat, taste great and are a perfect source of Vitamins A & D. They are made from fresh mozzarella with no preservatives. They make a great snack for children, just on their own. Its fun to sit and peel off the strands of cheese, and I like that the kids are snacking on something nutritious instead of something junky.
They are great to tuck into lunch boxes, and to take in the car, or on picnics as well, and they come in very handy when you want to make a tasty snack for your kids as well, such as these tasty Pizza Rolls.
You could of course use prepped crescent rolls from the tin, but I prefer to make my own from scratch dough, creating a simple scone dough. Tastes better and I know what is in them. You just stir the dough together, pat it out and then cut into triangles and fill. Easy peasy. I have filled mine with pepperoni, but you can use whatever you want to fill them with.
The important thing to remember is not to over-fill them with anything, and of course, these tasty mozzarella sticks make adding the cheese very easy.
You just roll up your desired fillings along with the cheese in the scone dough, brush with melted butter, sprinkle on some Italian Garlic Seasoning and bake.
They puff up nice and golden brown in the oven . . . crisp edged . . . Tasty. Tasty!
I like to serve them with a simple homemade marinara sauce for dipping. I just take a pot of tomato puree (holds about 4 TBS) and mix it with some boiling water, some more of that Italian seasoning, some salt and pepper, a squirt of honey, some crushed fennel seed, a dash of ground cloves, and some onion powder. Just whisk that all together until you have a nice sauce consistency . . .
Pop it into the microwave for a minute or two and Bob's Your Uncle! You have a really tasty dipping sauce for your pizza rolls.
Just look at that lovely cheese ooze!!
Flaky rolls . . . gooey delicious melted cheese, spicy pepperoni . . .
And a tasty sauce for dipping!
What more could a kid want??? I love that the cheese in these Pik Nik Twiller Snacks is a mix of white and coloured Mozzarella. This adds even more interest! And one cheese stick is the equivalent of one glass of milk!
These went down a real treat with the big kids in this house!
Although I think if I make them again, I am going to chop up the pepperoni instead of leaving it in slices. Ham would be nice also.
Pizza Rolls
Yield: 4
Pizza stuffed quick rolls, filled with gooey cheese and pepperoni, and baked. Serve hot with your favourite marinara sauce!
ingredients:
- 140g plain flour (1 cup)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 TBS butter, cut into bits
- 70ml milk (1/3 cup) or enough to make a soft dough
- 2 mozzarella sticks, cut in half crosswise
- 12 slices pepperoni
- a bit of melted butter to brush
- Italian Garlic Seasoning to sprinkle
- warm marinara sauce to serve
instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 190*C/375*F/ gas mark 5. Line a small baking sheet with baking paper. Set aside.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Drop in the butter and cut it in with a pastry blender or two knives until it resembles coarse bread crumbs. Stir in enough milk with a fork to give you a soft dough. Tip out onto a lightly floured board and knead gently a couple times before patting out into a 8 by 10 rectangle.
- Using a sharp knife cut into 4 triangles. Separate a bit and then place 3 slices of pepperoni and 1/2 a cheese stick at the wide end of each. Roll up to enclose from the large end to the narrow tip. Tuck in the edges and then place point side down on the baking tray.
- Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with Italian Garlic Seasoning. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Serve hot with some of your favourite marinara sauce for dipping.
These Pik Nik Twillers Snacks are available in the chiller section of most grocery shops. Great for snacking, for on vegetable trays, in salads, etc. and of course fabulous in little bakes such as these Easy Pizza Rolls! Wonderful cold and meltingly oozy delish when hot!
I am always a mix of dubious and excited when I come across something which claims to be the world's greatest anything, especially when it comes to food. Taste is something which is essentially a very personal thing, and what is my idea of the tastiest is not necessarily somebody else's idea of tastiness!
This is a recipe that I have had my eye on for a long time. I adore peanut butter in any way shape or form.
I do like the creamy style slightly more than the crunchy, but if it's peanut butter I am all for it! I have never met a peanut butter anything I didn't like!
The original recipe comes from a baking book I have had for a while, entitled Tate's Bake Shop Cookbook, by Kathleen King.
I have had it since before we moved back here to Chester and I am ashamed to say this is the first time I have used it!
As a part of my efforts to downsize around here I have been going through all of my cookery books and trying to decide which ones to keep and which ones not to keep.
If they are books I have used a lot, they stay . . . . naturally.
But if they are not books which I have used, I am having to do some serious thinking as to whether it is worth keeping them or not.
I want to have at least 10 recipes per book, if not more, that I have cooked or am interested in cooking.
This one looks somewhat promising, especially after baking this loaf and seeing how lovely it turned out.
A simple quick bread with lovely rich peanut butter flavours. Easy to make. It did take me sightly longer to bake, but I am not sure if that is because of where I live, or because my oven isn't working properly. (Yes, still!)
This can happen often when baking things. All ovens are not alike and altitude, environment can also come into play when baking. We must be prepared to adjust things as we need to.
She recommended serving it toasted and spread with jam. I decided to try it first as little sandwiches . . . one with strawberry jam, and another with a sugar free chocolate spread I have here in the house.
I love sandwiches. Almost as much as I love peanut butter.
Both of the sandwiches I made looked very good. I can't tell you which one I loved more.
Nutella? Yum!! Jam? Yum! Both? Yum yum yum!
I also cut a thin slice and toasted it in the toaster . . . until the edges were crisp and golden. Nobody can ever accuse me of not doing what I need to in order to present you with the very best! 😉😉😉
The toasted slice I spread lightly with salted butter. Lightly is a personal decision. One man's idea of lightly is not the same as another man's lightly.
Just saying . . . don't quote me on this!
I actually sat down with a finger of each and a cup of Peanut Hottie Hot Chocolate to try them out inividually. One small finger of each of the nutella sandwich, and one of the jam, and one of the toasted slice.
I am incredibly thorough when I do these things. I wouldn't want to share anything with you that wasn't amazingly tasty would I?
I know . . . its a tough job, but somebody has to do it! All I can say is Yum, Double Yum, Triple YUM YUM YUM!!
Peanut Butter Bread
Yield: 1 9-inch loaf
Lovely loaf with a rich peanut butter flavour. Eat it plain, toasted, as little jam or nutella sandwiches or for dessert with ice cream and chocolate sauce!
ingredients:
- 280g plain flour (2 cups)
- 1 TBS Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 65g butter softened (1/4 cup)
- 95g granulated sugar (1/2 cup)
- 50g soft dark brown sugar (1/4 cup, firmly packed)
- 180g smooth peanut butter (1 cup)
- 1 large free range egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 240ml milk (1 cup milk)
instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 180*C/350*F/ gas mark 4. Butter a 9 X 5 X 3 inch loaf tin. Set aside.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl. Set aside.
- Cream the butter and both sugars together until combined. Add the peanut butter and mix well together. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Add the flour mixture, alternately with the milk, making three dry and two wet additions. Spoon into the prepared loaf tin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, until well risen and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. The top should spring back when lightly touched.
- Cool in the tin for 10 minutes prior to tipping out onto a wire rack to finish cooling completely. Store in an airtight container.
The results were . . . I liked the toasted one, but it was not my favourite . . . the sugar free chocolate spread was very good. My very favourite however . . . . was the one with strawberry jam! Yes, you can take the North American out of North America, but you can't take the North America out of the North American. My veins flow with peanut butter and jam! Yummity yummity yum yum yum!

We are huge fans of Tex Mex in our house, especially tacos! We love our Tacos. I will take a Taco any way, any how.
Especially when they are homemade. There is something about making them yourself that makes them tastier!
My husband however doesn't like eating hard or really crunchy things. I usually do soft taco boats, or use soft tortillas these days.
To be honest, I have broken a tooth before on a tortilla chip, so as you get older, softer is probably a better way to go, and a lot easier on your teeth!
I especially love baked Tacos . . . Tacos that you fill and then bake in the oven until all the flavours meld together and everything is scrummy yummy!
But then again, I will take a taco any way I can get it!
I recently discovered the Deli Kitchen's folded flat breads. These are really innovative and delicious soft flat breads that are very convenient to use, fill and eat!
For these tasty Tacos today I used their Corn Folded Flatbreads. They come six to a pack and are soft and delicious! They are perfect for these kind of tacos.
At only 113 calories per flatbread thin, they are lower in calories than traditional crisp taco shells (which have been fried you know!) containing 19.9g of carbs, of which only 1.3g are sugars. Low in fat and saturates I think they are a fairly healthy choice!
I find them to be delicious and easy to use. You can't lose!
Today I used leftover cooked chicken breast meat to make a fabulous Chipotle Lime Chicken filling!
It is a really simple filling to make . . . just chopped chicken, some chipotle chili in adobe sauce, a bit of mayonnaise, tomato salsa (you pick the heat) and some lime juice . . .
I layered that in the folded corn flatbreads with some packaged four cheese blend, but you can easily grate your own cheese, some Mexican Spicy Jack would be fabulous.
I just used what I had on hand . . .
I do like a tiny bit of crunch myself, so I did crumble some tortilla chips and sprinkle some on the top of each taco . . . one per taco did the job perfectly . . . they ended up just slightly crunchy without being overly hard. In short perfect.
You don't need to bake them for very long. Less than half an hour, which is just enough time to make your go-withs!
I have included directions to may your own Chipotle Cream, which is the perfect accompaniment!
I sprinkled the finished tacos with some finely sliced spring onions when I took them out of the onion. Scrumptious . . .
And then served them with some of that Chipotle Sour Cream sauce, some guacamole (I adore guacamole) and additional salsa!
Oh boy, that was one very VERY tasty mouthful! I could have eaten all six myself, but I didn't. I promise you. I shared these with my husband, no word of a lie! He thought they were really good too!

Chipotle Lime Chicken Flatbread Tacos
prep time: cook time: total time:
A wonderfully spicy chicken taco filling tucked inside some Deli Kitchen Corn Folded Flat Breads and baked. Deliciously served with a Chipotle Sour Cream Sauce, Guacamole and Salsa.
ingredients:
- 200g chopped cooked chicken breast meat (2 cups)
- the juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 TBS Chipotle in adobe sauce
- 3 TBS mayonnaise
- 3 TBS Tomato salsa
- 1 tsp Mexican spice seasoning (I used Swartz Mexican Street Food seasoning)
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 6 Deli Kitchen Corn Folded Flat Breads

For the Chipotle Sour Cream Sauce:
- 120g sour cream (1/2 cup)

- pinch salt
You will also need:
- prepared guacamole
- prepared salsa
- chopped spring onions
instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 200*C/400*F/ gas mark 6. Have ready a baking dish large enough to hold all your tacos.
- Using a fork, mash together the chicken, lime juice, salsa, mayonnaise, chipotle, Mexican seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. Open your flatbreads slightly. Place a couple of tablespoons of four cheese blend on one side. Top with 1/6th of the chicken mixture and then another couple of tablespoons of cheese blend. Divide the crumbled tortilla chips between them, sprinkling them on top of the cheese. Place the filled flat breads into the baking dish and cover with a sheet of foil that you have sprayed with a nonstick spray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until heated through and the cheese has melted.
- While the tacos are baking, make the chipotle sour cream sauce, by whisking all of the ingredients together.
- Remove the tacos from the oven, sprinkle with chopped spring onions and serve with the sour cream sauce, guacamole and salsa for spooning on top. Delicious!

I love these Deli Kitchen Folded Flat Breads, both the Corn ones and the Brioche ones. Totally yummy! You can buy them at Sainsbury's here in the UK. Their delicious range also includes Sliced Focaccia, Plain Subwich, Skinni Wraps and three kinds of sandwich thins.
As a diabetic I do try to watch my carb intake most of the time and I have found these thinner, healthier options really helpful in doing that, plus they are also delicious. I can have my sandwich and eat it too!
You can find their products in a variety of different shops, to find out which products are available where, do check out their website.
