For the dough

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the filling

  • 1/2 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded

  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce for dipping

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the Greek yogurt and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until the ingredients come together to form a dough.
  • Knead on a lightly floured board for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Rolling Out

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Roll the dough into a rectangle, about ¼ inch thick. Aim for even thickness to ensure uniform baking.

Adding the Filling

  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough's surface.
  • Distribute the chopped pepperoni pieces atop the cheese.
  • Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the filling for an extra flavor boost.

Rolling and Slicing

  • Starting from one long edge, gently roll the dough tightly into a log.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.

Baking

  • Place the sliced rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.

Serving

  • Serve the High Protein Pepperoni Pizza Rolls warm with pizza sauce for dipping.
  • Enjoy these delightful bites with friends and family!

Notes

Don't skimp on the filling to ensure a satisfying bite. Experiment with adding herbs or spices to the dough for extra flavor. Keep an eye on baking times as they may vary.
