# What You Need:
→ Dough
01 - 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
02 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
04 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
05 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Filling
07 - 3/4 cup pizza sauce
08 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
09 - 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni (or diced bell peppers for vegetarian option)
10 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
11 - 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend
→ Finishing
12 - 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing
13 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, salt, and dried oregano until evenly distributed.
03 - Add the Greek yogurt and olive oil to the dry mixture. Stir until a smooth dough forms, kneading lightly on a floured surface if necessary to bring it together.
04 - Transfer the dough to a surface dusted with gluten-free flour and roll it out into a 12 x 8-inch rectangle using a rolling pin.
05 - Spread the pizza sauce evenly across the surface of the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around all edges to prevent overflow during rolling.
06 - Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce, followed by the sliced pepperoni (or diced bell peppers), grated Parmesan, and dried Italian herbs.
07 - Starting from the long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Using a sharp knife or dough cutter, slice the log into 16 even pieces.
08 - Place each roll spiral-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder.
09 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
10 - Allow the rolls to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before serving warm. Pair with additional marinara sauce for dipping if desired.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The dough comes together with just Greek yogurt and olive oil, no yeast or rising time required, which means you can go from craving to eating in under an hour.
- They freeze beautifully, so you can make a double batch and have grab-and-go snacks ready for hungry moments all week long.
02 -
- Gluten-free dough is more delicate than traditional dough, so roll it up slowly and use both hands to transfer slices to the baking sheet.
- Check every packaged ingredient for certified gluten-free labels, because cross-contamination hides in places like spice blends and processed pepperoni.
03 -
- Wet your knife slightly between slices to get perfectly clean spiral cuts without dragging the dough.
- Let the assembled rolls sit uncovered for five minutes before baking so the surfaces dry out slightly and brown better in the oven.
