Ingredients
  

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1/2 cup marinara sauce (plus additional for dipping)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color you prefer)

1/2 cup fresh chopped spinach

1/4 cup sliced black olives

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate the Greek yogurt, stirring until the mixture forms a cohesive dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

    Roll Out the Dough: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll the prepared dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick, making sure it maintains an even thickness throughout.

      Add the Fillings: Spread the marinara sauce evenly across the surface of the rolled-out dough, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges. Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped bell peppers, spinach, black olives, and dried oregano over the sauce to ensure each bite has a burst of flavor.

        Roll It Up: Starting from one edge of the rectangle, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, ensuring the fillings stay inside. Once rolled, pinch the seams along the length of the roll to secure it.

          Cut the Rolls: Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the log into 1-inch thick pieces, creating individual pizza rolls. Arrange the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut side facing up for optimal browning.

            Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the tops of each pizza roll with olive oil. This step helps achieve a beautiful golden crust during baking.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are a rich golden brown and the cheese is bubbling out of the sides.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the pizza rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them warm alongside extra marinara sauce for dipping, enhancing the delicious experience.

                    - Presentation Tips: For an appealing presentation, arrange the pizza rolls on a large platter, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, and small bowls of marinara for dipping on the side.
