Description

These High Protein Pepperoni Pizza Rolls are a delicious, wholesome snack or meal option made with whole wheat dough, low-fat mozzarella, and turkey pepperoni. Baked to golden perfection and seasoned with Italian herbs, they offer a healthier twist on classic pizza rolls, perfect for quick bites or family-friendly gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Rolls

  • 1 package Whole wheat pizza dough (Store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese (Shredded)
  • 1 cup Turkey pepperoni (Sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil (For brushing)

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 cup Tomato sauce

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a floured surface to prevent sticking and create an even layer.
  2. Cut Dough: Slice the rolled-out dough into rectangles sized appropriately for individual pizza rolls.
  3. Assemble Rolls: Place a portion of shredded low-fat mozzarella and a few slices of turkey pepperoni on each dough rectangle, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning for enhanced flavor.
  4. Roll and Seal: Carefully roll the dough around the fillings to form a log shape and pinch the edges to seal the rolls and prevent filling from leaking out during baking.
  5. Arrange and Brush: Lay the sealed rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Brush the tops with olive oil to achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the pizza rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with tomato sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Using whole wheat pizza dough adds fiber and nutrients compared to regular dough.
  • Turkey pepperoni is a leaner alternative to traditional pepperoni, reducing fat content.
  • Ensure dough edges are well sealed to prevent cheese from oozing out during baking.
  • Customize the fillings by adding vegetables such as spinach or bell peppers for added nutrition.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
