HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE PIZZA ROLLS

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a cupcake pan and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.

Add the plain yogurt to your flour mixture, mix with a fork until a shaggy dough has formed.

Using your hands knead the rest of the flour into the dough until a ball forms.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and roll out to a 12×8 rectangle.

Spread marinara sauce on the dough, layer with cheese and pepperoni.

Roll the dough like you would roll up cinnamon rolls.

Cut the roll into 9 even pieces.

Place each roll into each cupcake serving and bake for 25 minutes.

SUBSTITUTIONS FOR PIZZA ROLLS

Flour: You can use whole wheat flour or a gluten-free flour blend if you’re looking for a gluten-free option.

Greek Yogurt: Sour cream or buttermilk can be used as a substitute.

Marinara Sauce: Tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes with your favorite herbs and seasonings can be used.

Pepperoni: I like using turkey pepperoni. But you can use crumbled sausage, diced ham, or even sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian option.

VARIATIONS FOR PIZZA ROLLS

Veggie Delight: Load up your pizza rolls with a mix of sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and spinach. This adds extra nutrition and a burst of flavors.

BBQ Chicken Twist: Swap the marinara sauce for your favorite barbecue sauce and substitute the pepperoni with shredded BBQ chicken. Top with red onion slices for a delicious chicken pizza.

Mediterranean Medley: Gather some kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, and feta cheese for a Mediterranean-inspired flavor. Or try my Soyrizo Pita Pizza with a thinner crust to cut carbs.

HOW TO STORE HOMEMADE PIZZA ROLLS

Refrigerator: For longer storage, place the cooled pizza rolls in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Freezer: Allow the pizza rolls to cool completely after baking. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for about 1-2 hours. This prevents them from sticking together. Once partially frozen, transfer the pizza rolls to a freezer-safe airtight container or plastic bag. Pizza rolls can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.

HOW TO REHEAT HOMEMADE PIZZA ROLLS

Oven: To reheat refrigerated pizza rolls, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rolls on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.

Microwave: For a quicker option, you can reheat a few pizza rolls in the microwave. Place them on a microwave-safe plate and heat in 15-30 second intervals until warmed to your liking. Be cautious not to overheat, as the dough may become chewy.

Freezer: To reheat frozen pizza rolls, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the frozen rolls on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and the exterior is crispy.
