Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 ounces Low-fat turkey pepperoni
- 0.5 cup Reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt.
Pour in the warm water and olive oil, and mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 to 7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12x9 inches.
Evenly distribute the low-fat turkey pepperoni slices and sprinkle the reduced-fat mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Carefully roll up the dough, starting from one of the longer sides, tucking the ends under to seal.
Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and place the rolled dough seam side down on the sheet.
Make shallow cuts on the top of the roll for steam to escape during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the roll to cool slightly, then cut into 8 slices and serve.
