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 the tops)
Dipping Sauce
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough evenly.
- Cut Dough: Slice the rolled dough into rectangles, approximately the size you want your pizza rolls to be.
- Add Filling: Place a slice of shredded low-fat mozzarella and several slices of turkey pepperoni on each rectangle. Sprinkle a light amount of Italian seasoning over the fillings to enhance the flavor.
- Roll and Seal: Carefully roll the dough around the fillings, forming a log shape. Make sure to pinch and seal the edges tightly to prevent the filling from escaping during baking.
- Prepare for Baking: Place each roll on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced out evenly. Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil to promote browning and crispness.
- Bake: Bake the pizza rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top and are cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm with the tomato sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey pepperoni with regular pepperoni or other meats if preferred.
- Make sure not to overfill the rolls to avoid leakage while baking.
- For an extra crispy crust, brush the rolls with a little garlic butter before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
