Instructions
Creating High Protein Pepperoni Pizza Rolls is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or olive oil.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
3. Combine Cheese: In a separate bowl, mix low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese and low-fat cottage cheese until well blended.
4. Add Egg: Beat the large egg in a small bowl and then add it to the cheese mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
5. Form the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cheese mixture, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
6. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Spread Sauce: Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
8. Add Pepperoni: Sprinkle the pepperoni slices evenly over the sauce.
9. Roll It Up: Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough into a log shape, sealing the edges as you go.
10. Slice the Rolls: Slice the rolled dough into 1-inch pieces and place them on the greased baking sheet.
11. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
12. Cool Slightly: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
