High protein pepperoni pizza rolls are a healthier twist on a classic comfort food, made with high-protein dough, melty mozzarella, and savory pepperoni. These baked pizza rolls are perfect for meal prep, post-workout snacks, or an easy protein-packed lunch.
Ingredients
- 1 batch high-protein pizza dough Greek yogurt–based or store-bought
- ¾ cup part-skim mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup turkey pepperoni or regular pepperoni chopped
- ⅓ cup pizza sauce thick-style works best
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
- Olive oil spray
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the high-protein dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about ¼-inch thick.
- Spread a thin, even layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle mozzarella evenly, then add chopped pepperoni, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log, seam-side down.
- Slice into 1–1½ inch rolls and place cut-side up on the baking sheet.
- Brush tops lightly with egg wash and mist with olive oil spray.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
- Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Avoid overfilling to prevent leaking during baking.
- Roll tightly so the pizza rolls keep their shape.
- Letting them rest helps the cheese set and improves texture.
- Delicious with warm marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
