Ingredients
  

1 cup cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg

1 1/2 cups almond flour (or whole wheat flour for more fiber)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup turkey pepperoni slices (or any preferred type)

1/2 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

Optional: Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt), shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and the egg. Mix until you have a smooth, cohesive mixture.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

        Incorporate Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined and a dough starts to form.

          Shape the Rolls: Lightly dust your countertop with a bit of almond flour. Divide the dough into equal portions (about 10-12). Roll each portion into a small oval shape (about 4 inches long).

            Add Filling: Place 2-3 slices of pepperoni on each oval of dough, then fold over to create a pocket, sealing the edges by pressing down firmly. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and firm to the touch.

                Serve: Remove the pizza rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Optionally, garnish with fresh basil leaves.

                  Enjoy: These high-protein pepperoni pizza rolls make for a great snack, appetizer, or meal - perfect for satisfying those pizza cravings while packing in the protein!
