Ingredients
1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1.5 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp salt)
1/2 cup marinara or pizza sauce
1/2 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup turkey pepperoni slices, chopped
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
Cooking spray or olive oil spray
Optional toppings:
Red pepper flakes
Grated Parmesan
Fresh basil or parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt and self-rising flour. Mix until a dough forms, then knead briefly until smooth.
On a floured surface, roll dough into a rectangle (~1/4 inch thick).
Spread pizza sauce over the dough, then sprinkle with mozzarella, chopped turkey pepperoni, and Italian seasoning.
Carefully roll up the dough like a cinnamon roll and slice into 8–10 rolls.
Arrange on baking sheet and lightly spray tops with cooking spray.
Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
Cool slightly and serve with extra marinara for dipping, if desired.
Notes
Swap turkey pepperoni for turkey sausage or vegetarian pepperoni for variety.
Use light string cheese pulled apart for easy portioning.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or air fryer.
Freeze before or after baking for longer storage.
Add chopped veggies like bell pepper or spinach to boost fiber.
