Ingredients

Dough

1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 cup self-rising flour
If using all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Filling

½ cup pizza sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
20 –24 pepperoni slices
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Optional Toppings

1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Make the dough

In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt and self-rising flour.
Mix until a soft dough forms.
If the dough feels sticky, sprinkle in a little extra flour.

3. Knead the dough

Lightly flour a work surface and knead the dough for about 2–3 minutes until smooth.

4. Roll out the dough

Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.

5. Add the sauce

Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

6. Add toppings

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce and arrange pepperoni slices evenly.

7. Roll the dough

Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.

8. Slice the rolls

Cut the log into 1-inch slices using a sharp knife.

9. Bake

Place the rolls cut-side up on the baking sheet and bake for 18–22 minutes until golden and bubbly.

10. Cool and serve

Let the pizza rolls cool slightly before serving.
Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

📝 Notes

Protein Boost: Use high-protein pizza dough, Greek yogurt dough, or add protein-rich flour blends to increase the overall protein content.
Pepperoni Choice: Turkey pepperoni or reduced-fat pepperoni can be used for a lighter option without sacrificing flavor.
Cheese Options: Part-skim mozzarella works best for a balance of flavor and protein while keeping the rolls from becoming too greasy.
Even Rolling: Roll the dough tightly before slicing to keep the pizza rolls compact and prevent the filling from spilling out while baking.
Extra Flavor: Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or crushed red pepper flakes inside the rolls for added taste.
Dipping Sauce: Serve with warm marinara or pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Storage: Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezing Tip: Freeze baked rolls in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months; reheat in the oven or air fryer until warmed through.
