These pizza rolls will obviously have pizza worthy ingredients in them as well. The cheese and meats that you would normally see in a pizza usually have low to no carbohydrates. The vegetables that you add may have carbohydrates in them, such as onions or peppers. For the sauce, it is important to use a regular tomato sauce as many sauces have sugar and carbs added to them. However, there are some low carb pizza sauce options that are available online. Be sure that you read the labels on everything that you use in this recipe to assure that they are low carb as well.

A low carb pizza roll recipe that is just as tasty as the regular one.
Ingredients
Low Carb Pizza Dough- see post for details. One pizza dough as made in the recipe.
Provolone can sub in Mozzarella Cheese Slices- slices (versus shredded) work best as we will be rolling the dough. - 10-12 Slices.
Lowest Carb Sauce that you can find- see post for details- 1 cup.
Sliced Meat such as pepperoni or salami- 10-12 slices if large otherwise, as needed to cover pizza dough.
Veggies- 1 cup if desired. Be sure to use low carb vegetables. This works best if you are not using meat as using both may make the pizza too thick may make it difficult to roll.
Additional cheese that is shredded or grated such as Parmesan Italian Blend or Mozzarella- 1/2 cup.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375. Lay out a large piece of parchment paper that we will use to prepare and bake our pizza rolls in. Place another piece of parchment paper on a rimmed baking sheet such as a jelly roll sheet that we will use to bake the rolls on in the oven.
- Roll out the pizza dough to about 1/4" on your parchment paper. If the dough seems sticky you may need to sprinkle it with a light dusting of flour or spray with nonstick spray.
- When your dough has been rolled out, layer the sliced cheese over it covering the dough as much as possible.
- Place the sliced meat (or vegetables if using them instead) over the the cheese slices spreading out as much as possible. Tip: avoid 1/2" of the edge of the dough when placing ingredients on the dough to ensure that you will be able to easily roll up the dough.
- Lightly spread the sauce over the meat.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese (shredded/grated) over the pizza.
- Working with the part of the dough that is furthest away from you, roll the pizza up toward you. I start by making a turn with the edges and then the center working my way towards me. I then pinch the edges and repeat the process. When the pizza is rolled up, you can slice it into 1/2-3/4" slices. Place the slices on the parchment paper that is on the pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until bubbly and browning.
