This recipe for Yogurt Dough Pizza Scrolls has been updated in April 2019 to halve the quantity of the dough and add more detail around how to make this recipe based on reader feedback.
The last two weeks have been CRAZY. I have been super busy at work. And on top of this it’s been a busy time at home. I mean, it always is, but things seem more chaotic than normal. So it’s been hard to keep on top of recipe testing this last week. I like to have my blogs planned out a few weeks in advance so I am pretty much testing recipes all the time. But this week it’s been much more of a fly by the seat of my pants week. So I am soooo grateful I remembered these easy Yogurt Dough Pizza Scrolls that we had made a lot in the past but not so much recently!
If you haven’t heard about two ingredient yogurt dough yet I would be entirely surprised. It’s a super easy way to make dough. And it’s really versatile. And one of our family’s favourite ways to enjoy yogurt dough is these Yogurt Dough Pizza Scrolls.
Pizza scrolls are a fun option for the lunchbox instead of a sandwich. The key to making these Yogurt Dough Pizza Scrolls is to have a light hand with the fillings so they stay together when cooking. I also make these on a sheet of waxed baking paper. This will help when rolling the scrolls. If your baking paper is unwaxed be sure to grease it lightly.

Description
These delicious Yogurt Dough Pizza Scrolls are fantastic for school lunches instead of a sandwich.
Ingredients
- 1 cups self raising flour plus 1/2 cup reserved self raising flour – see note
- 1 cup of greek yogurt – see note
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 50g of grated mozzarella or tasty cheese
- 10g pepperoni sliced into thin strips (optional – you could add pineapple or tomato instead or just leave out completely)
- Dried basil or oregano
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190c and line a baking tray
- In a bowl add the greek yogurt and stir around a little.
- Add in 1 cup of self raising flour and mix together until a dough forms and smooth into a ball, it will be a little sticky at this point.
- Leave the dough in the bowl and continue to add the extra flour slowly as required (I find just over 1/4 cup is necessary but you may need more) kneading until the dough is workable, smooth to touch and is no longer sticky. This process will take around 5 minutes.
- Turn out the dough onto a piece of waxed baking paper. If your paper is not waxed then lightly spray with cooking oil. This will ensure the dough does not stick to the paper.
- Place the dough on the paper and quickly shape into a rectangle with your hands.
- With a floured rolling pin, roll out until the dough is about 1.5 cm thick. Try to work through this step quickly.
- Lightly spread the dough with tomato paste then sprinkle the cheese and the pepperoni (if using) evenly over the dough
- Quickly and gently roll the dough up evenly from the shortest side to form a log then slice each log into 8 even scrolls.
- Slightly squash, sprinkle with the dried herbs and put on the prepared baking tray
- Bake for around 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the dough has cooked and is lightly golden
Notes
This dough can be sticky so take care with how you measure the flour and Greek Yogurt. I measure the greek yogurt by spooning it in the measuring cup. I measure the flour by scooping it from the container and ensuring the flour is tightly packed (for this recipe only – do not measure flour like this in my other recipes).
Spend some time mixing the dough in the bowl, using a spoon until the dough is workable with your hands. You can add in additional flour if you feel it is too sticky but around 1/4 cup of flour (measured so it is tightly packed) should be sufficient.
It’s important to have waxed baking paper to avoid sticking. You could instead lightly grease the baking paper by spraying with cooking oil. It is also important to roll quickly and lightly with a floured rolling pin.

Super delicious recipe and really easy to make! I plan on using the dough to make cinnamon scrolls also. Love it!
Ah fantastic – glad you enjoyed, I have a cinnamon scroll recipe on my site using this base if you are interested https://www.goodiegoodielunchbox.com.au/yogurt-dough-cinnamon-scrolls/ 🙂
This recipe is absolutely easy to make and so delicious. It was a big hit in our family.
Thank you for the recipe 🙂
I made this recipe using gluten free self raising flour and just had to keep adding more flour until the consistency was right (about an extra 3/4 cup in total). I also halved the dough and made pizza on half and cheesy mite on the other half, delicious! The dough is so fluffy even using the GF flour :), will definitely make again.
Thanks for letting me know Shelby – especially happy to know that this can work with GF flour too. Thanks again, Bernadette x
What a great recipe. I made a double batch and added tomato and bbq sauce mixed for the base sauce and then added chopped ham, olives and sun-dried tomatoes and rolled it up. I forgot the cheese so just sprinkled lots on top. I slightly undercooked them so the dough was still soft (I tend to usually cook them too much) Kids loved it and there aren’t any leftovers for the husband. Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks so much for baking! Your combination sounds delicious! Bernadette x
My first attempt at making dough and these were amazing!!!!
Ah yay! So glad you enjoyed them. Bernadette x
This recipe is absolutely easy to make and so delicious. It was a big hit in our family.
Thank you for the recipe 🙂
Thank you so much for letting me know – I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed it! Bernadette x
Could you freeze these to use in lunch boxes at a later time?
Yes definitely!
One of THE worst recipes i’ve ever tried. Beyond sticky, even with 1 and a half cups flour. Added extra. Still not enough. 2+ cups of flour later and i couldnt justify wasting any more flour.
Hi Emma, so sorry to read this. I have emailed you to try and get a bit more information. Thanks Bernadette x
Love these! Just made these but put cheesymite scrolls. Made a double batch and didn’t have enough Greek yoghurt and the dough turned out perfect! They smell delicion! The kids are hovering 😂 Thanks for another great recipe!
oh yum! so glad you had success with these and they are a hit! Bernadette x
Thanks so much for the recipe! Look it was super sticky and I had to add a lot of flour, but my 3 year old was helping me so I can’t say we got the ratio of yoghurt/flour right! Still turned out super yummy.
Hi Kathleen, yes these can be a bit variable and I have recently added notes to give more info around how to make these to try and reduce the stick factor. I am glad you enjoyed them anyway! Bernadette x
Just wondering if I can prepare these the day before and then bake on the day?
I haven’t tried. I think they may get a bit too sticky though. A traditional yeast based dough may be better to prep ahead then you can freeze and bake on the day. This recipe is great too https://www.goodiegoodielunchbox.com.au/pizza-scrolls/ Bernadette
Can we make these using combination of refined and whole wheat flour?
I have not tried but yes you can – happy baking! Bernadette x
I found the dough super sticky. The first sheet got stuck to the baking paper and was a nightmare to get off (I couldn’t reroll it as I had already put on the topping). Added over 1/2 a cup of flour to 2nd half and worked much better.
Thanks for letting me know, making dough can have a lot of variables so glad you found a solution and the second half worked! Bernadette x
Hi Bernadette, do you think I could add pureed spinach to the dough to give it a veggie boost? Not sure if it would upset the dough. Gotta get some greens into my son!
I think you could, but you might find you need less yogurt as the balance would be off. I would start be reducing the amount of yogurt by the amount of puree you add. Let me know how you go! Bernadette x
Hi
I have tired to make this dough and it was really sticky.i bad to add more than 1/2 cup of extra flour. I used my kitchen aid to make the dough could it be the explanation?
Shall I cut down the quantity of yoghurt a bit?
Thanks for your time.
Hi, the recipe was tested being made my hand and I am not sure how much the dough would be impacted by the kitchen aid. There would be a few variables to how the dough turns out (ie consistency of the yogurt or relative humidity). You could add more flour or yes add less yogurt to get a good kneading consistency. Thanks Bernadette
I made these and they were a huge hit! I cook a lot but never made pizza before. I was always scared of the dough. This dough was so easy and so simple. I am literally going to unfollow the other sites because non of their recipes work. Yours is always a hit. Thank you!!
Thank you so much lovely! This is a great dough recipe isn’t it? Bernadette x
Best scroll recipe ever! I’m a HUGE fan of cheesymite scrolls and have tried a few failed recipes. I used lite plain yoghurt which needed more flour than you suggested and it came out with the most amazing fluffy airy dough (which wasn’t hard and deflated like previous attempts). Really simple recipe which I’ll share with others. I’m not a mum but I feel like I should be now! I’m going to try to attempt this but with a cheesymite filling, although the original is also amazing .. (we had with wine in the arvo). Thank you for making my scroll dreams come true!! I will forever treasure this recipe 🙂
Thank you so much for the feedback! I love this dough to. I sometimes use it as pizza bases as well – it works really well. Bernadette x
These look amazing. Can they be frozen?
Hi Heidi! They sure can be! You could probably freeze after assembling and cutting but before baking but I bake them then allow to cool then I freeze them. Happy baking, Bernadette x
Do you on a piece of baking paper ( as opposed to powder) when talking about rolling it out?
Opps yes! I will fix that up. Happy baking! Bernadette x
These look amazing but we have a dairy intolerance in our house. Any dairy free ideas?
Thanks
😊
Thanks Sara – I have a few dairy free recipes:
