What other vegetables can be added to the filling of high-protein pizza rolls?

Spinach is a great addition because it wilts down to nothing. Finely chopped broccoli, zucchini (squeezed dry), or artichoke hearts also work well. Just ensure they aren't too wet.

Recommend low-carb marinara sauces for these recipes.

Rao's Homemade is widely considered the gold standard for low-carb, no-sugar-added sauce. Lucini and Primal Kitchen also make excellent keto-friendly pizza sauces.

How do you keep the rolls from getting soggy when assembling?

The key is not to overload them with sauce. Use a thin layer. Also, letting the dough rest for 5 minutes before baking allows the flour to hydrate slightly, preventing sogginess.

Can I use other cheeses in the Greek yogurt dough method?

While mozzarella is classic, you can use provolone, a pizza blend, or even reduced-fat cheddar. Just avoid very wet fresh mozzarella balls, as they release too much water.

What are other ways to enjoy Greek yogurt dough?

This dough is miraculous. You can use it to make bagels, pretzels, naan bread, cinnamon rolls, or even savory scones. It’s a versatile base for any healthy pizza rolls experiment.

What are the benefits of using turkey pepperoni over beef pepperoni in this recipe?

Turkey pepperoni is significantly lower in saturated fat and calories than beef or pork pepperoni, but it provides a similar amount of protein. This allows you to eat a larger portion for the same caloric impact, supporting weight loss and heart health.
