  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 rolls

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 rolled whole wheat pizza dough
  • 6 oz turkey pepperoni slices
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or oregano (optional)
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Cooking spray or olive oil
  • Optional: red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough evenly on a lightly floured surface, forming a large rectangle.
  3. Spread shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, then layer turkey pepperoni slices on top.
  4. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and herbs if using, ensuring even distribution.
  5. Carefully roll the dough from one long side to form a tight log.
  6. Slice the rolled dough into pieces about 1.5 inches thick and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  8. Lightly spray with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Notes

  • Using whole wheat dough increases fiber and adds nutritional value.
  • Opt for turkey or plant-based pepperoni to reduce fat and calorie content.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for additional nutrients.
  • Serve hot with marinara or ranch dipping sauces for best flavor.
