Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14 ounces) pre-made pizza dough
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 4 ounces turkey turkey turkey pepperoni slices, quartered
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 scoop (approx. 30g) unflavored whey protein isolate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the whey protein into the marinara sauce until completely dissolved. Set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12×16 inches.
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border at the edges.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Top with the quartered turkey turkey turkey pepperoni slices.
- Starting from one long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal slices.
- Place the pizza rolls, cut-side up, onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh basil before serving. Serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
Notes
For crispier pizza rolls, bake on a pizza stone. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave. For a lower-carb version, consider using a cauliflower crust. Feel free to add other pizza toppings like mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers.
