Quick Overview

  • Preparation Time: 12 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 15-18 minutes
  • Total Time: 27-30 minutes
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

  • 1 roll of fresh pizza dough (approx. 8.8-10.6 oz (250-300g))
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • A pinch of fine salt

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan) or 220°C (conventional). Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
  2. Unroll the pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. Using a round cutter (or a glass) about 4-5 cm (1.5-2 inches) in diameter, cut out approximately 18-24 discs.
  3. For each shamrock roll, arrange three discs side-by-side, slightly overlapping them in the centre. Place them onto the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between each roll.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil with the garlic powder, dried oregano, and fine salt. Evenly brush the surface of each shamrock roll with this fragrant mixture.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and beautifully puffed up.

Serving & Leftovers

Serve these speedy shamrock rolls warm, straight from the oven, to best enjoy their soft interior and crisp exterior. They make an excellent accompaniment to soups, salads, or main courses. Any leftovers can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one day. It is recommended to briefly reheat them in the oven before serving again.
