Pepperoni and Cheese Roll-Ups

Substantial as a main dish recipe or an appetizer or snack, these tasty Pepperoni and Cheese Roll-Ups are nothing short of amazing. Pepperoni pizza is one of my favorite foods, but a slice from the local pizzeria is definitely not Weight Watchers friendly. By creating my own, unique twist on this popular American food, I was able to create a much healthier, low calorie version of pepperoni pizza, but for a lot less Points. 2 rolls are just 5 Points +, so I can satisfy my pizza craving without breaking the bank. These are also easy to handle and eat, so they’d make perfect appetizers or snacks for game day and/or a Super Bowl party. They are cute, kid-friendly and easy to make. Definitely a hit at our household! I will be making these on a very regular basis.

    Do you think these could be frozen before baking? There is only 2 of us, so if we could put half in the freezer that would be a great, quick weeknight meal.

    What type of pizza dough do you use? I have had some bad experiences with whole wheat pizza, but this looks like a great recipe for and upcoming party.

    Since I publish these recipes only with nutritional info that is needed by Weight Watchers members to calculate their Points + values, I haven’t included sodium stats. I may be able to do so in the future, but can’t guarantee anything for sure. But I’ll do my best :)

    Are you able to provide the sodium levels of your recipes like this one? Sounds great but I am on a low sodium diet so need to know sodium levels of everything I make.
