Protein-packed pizza rolls with pepperoni, beef, and cheese in a soft Greek yogurt dough. Quick, satisfying, and freezer-friendly.
# What You'll Need:
→ Protein Dough
01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt, nonfat or low fat
02 - 2 cups self-rising flour
03 - 1 large egg
04 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Filling
06 - 7 ounces lean ground beef, 5% fat or less
07 - 2.8 ounces turkey or beef pepperoni slices
08 - 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
09 - 1/2 cup pizza sauce
10 - 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
11 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
12 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
→ Topping
13 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
14 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
15 - 1 teaspoon dried parsley or Italian herbs
# Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks for about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed. Stir in black pepper and Italian herbs. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
03 - In a large bowl, mix Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, egg, garlic powder, and salt until a sticky dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth.
04 - Roll the dough into a rectangle, approximately 12 by 10 inches.
05 - Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a half-inch border on all sides.
06 - Evenly scatter cooked beef, pepperoni slices, and mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
07 - Starting from a long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Using a sharp knife, slice into 12 equal pieces.
08 - Arrange rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and dried parsley or herbs.
09 - Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.
10 - Cool slightly before serving.
