Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 package instant yeast
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup turkey pepperoni slices
- 1 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine warm water, olive oil, and honey. Stir until the honey is completely dissolved.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove air bubbles, then roll it out into a rectangle about 12x18 inches on a floured surface.
Sprinkle the dough evenly with dried oregano and garlic powder.
Layer the turkey pepperoni slices and shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese over the rectangle of dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
Begin rolling the dough tightly from one of the long edges, sealing the ends by pinching the dough.
Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and place the roll on it, seam side down.
Using a sharp knife, make shallow diagonal slashes across the top of the roll without cutting all the way through the dough.
Let the roll rest for an additional 10 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the roll is golden brown.
Allow the pepperoni roll to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
