Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add dried oregano or chili flakes to the sauce before spreading.
  • Swap ham for cooked sausage or pepperoni for a different meat option.
  • Use mozzarella cheese for a classic melty texture.
  • If you don’t have Greek yogurt, sour cream or crème fraîche can be a good substitute.

Storage

Store leftover pizza scrolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore their crispiness. These scrolls can also be frozen before baking; bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

FAQs

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough and assemble the scrolls in advance. Keep them covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.

What if I don’t have self-raising flour?

Use plain flour and add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the flour to achieve the same rising effect in your dough.

Instructions
