Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 cup Cooked and shredded chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Turkey pepperoni slices
- 1 cup Skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 2 tablespoons Basil leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 large Egg, whisked
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Add olive oil, salt, and whole wheat flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back in the mixing bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for about 20 minutes or until slightly risen.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle about 12x15 inches in size.
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the rolled out dough.
Evenly distribute the shredded chicken, turkey pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Sprinkle garlic powder and chopped basil over the top.
Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll the dough into a log.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the pizza rolls with the whisked egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Let the pizza rolls cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
