Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Vegan cheese (shredded)
• 2 cups Spinach
• 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 cup Artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
• 1 cup Vegan Italian sausage (crumbled)
• 2 cloves Crushed garlic
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 6

In a pan over medium heat, sauté the crushed garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Add spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and vegan sausage to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Season the mixture with oregano, basil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix in nutritional yeast.

Step 9

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 10

Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 11

Sprinkle the vegan cheese over the filling.

Step 12

Carefully roll the dough (like a jelly roll) starting from one of the long edges, tucking in the filling as you go.

Step 13

Pinch the seams and ends to seal the roll.

Step 14

Place the roll seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 16

Allow to cool slightly, then slice and serve. Enjoy your Vegan Italian Roll!
