How to make Vegan Ratatouille Pizza Bites
For these bites, that can be considered like a Italo-French fusion dish, what we need to have at hand are indeed the basic ingredients for pizza, aka pizza dough, tomato sauce and mozzarella, and those that make the mouthwatering French Ratatouille that are: courgettes, aubergines, peppers, onion and tomato.
We are going to prepare these roll ups by cutting our pizza dough into a 4 centimetres thick stripes, spread over a pepper and herbes de Provence flavoured red sauce, and topped with thin slices of aubergines and courgettes, and a sprinkle of grated vegan mozzarella.
You can definitely use store bought rolled pizza dough, however in the video I’ve recorded I had to use a homemade pizza dough as there was none in the shops.
If you prefer making your own pizza dough I’ll leave you the recipe I have used for the video.
I prepared mine using: 250 g plain flour, 3 grams instant yeast, 5 grams of sea salt and 240 ml of lukewarm water. Mix it all together, work for 10 minutes and leave prove for 1:30 hour, or until it doubles the size.
This dosage yields 8 pizza bites, so keep that in mind if making your own dough as you might want to double up the amount.
Once the pizza rolls are formed we can bake in a 200°C (390°F) preheated oven for 30 minutes in total.
To give them the nice flower-like look I baked the rolls into a muffin tray for 20 minutes, removed the bites from the mould and baked for another 10 minutes.
Since I’ve used a silicon mould I didn’t oil the tray before placing the rolls. If you are using an aluminium or ceramic one please do oil the tray or use some baking paper.
If you don’t have a muffin tray you can use ramekins instead. Just remember to add some oil to the ramekin to prevent the rolls sticking to it.
These delicious and super easy vegan Ratatouille pizza bites can be enjoyed both hot or warm. They are a perfect treat to pair with the leftover tomato sauce! Alternatively feel free to use your favourite sauce 🙂
