  • Total Time: 35-40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 rolls

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet of store-bought pizza dough or homemade dough
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni or turkey pepperoni
  • 2 scoops of your favorite unflavored or savory protein powder (optional for extra protein boost)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pizza dough into a 12×8 inch rectangle, kneading in protein powder if desired.
  2. Spread sauce evenly across the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  3. Sprinkle mozzarella and distribute pepperoni over the sauce.
  4. Carefully roll from the short end into a tight log and slice into 1-inch pieces.
  5. Place slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing apart.
  6. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with oregano or Italian seasoning.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms before rolling.
  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes or microwave for 30-40 seconds.
