Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup 2% plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Filling
- ½ cup marinara sauce (plus additional for serving)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a small baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, white whole wheat flour, baking powder, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. Knead the dough gently with your hands to ensure all the flour is fully incorporated and the dough is smooth.
- Roll Out the Dough: Sprinkle some extra flour on a clean surface to prevent sticking, then roll the dough out into a 12×12 inch square about ⅛-inch thick.
- Add the Filling: Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce. Optionally, add extra dried oregano or your preferred pizza toppings for added flavor.
- Form the Rolls: Carefully roll the dough lengthwise into a tight log shape. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into approximately 10 equal pieces, each about 1.5 inches thick. Arrange the rolls cut-side up in the prepared baking dish so the filling is visible on top.
- Bake: Bake the pizza rolls in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top. Remove from oven and serve warm with additional marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Using Greek yogurt adds protein and moisture to the dough while keeping it tender.
- White whole wheat flour can be swapped with all-purpose flour if preferred.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite pizza toppings such as pepperoni, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
- Ensure the dough is rolled evenly to allow for consistent baking.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture as pizza rolls are best enjoyed warm.
