Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 6 slices Turkey bacon
- 0.5 cup, shredded Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Chopped scallions
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
Add the olive oil and buttermilk to the dry ingredients, gently stirring until the dough just comes together.
Step 4
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 5
Cook the turkey bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove from skillet, drain on a paper towel, and chop into small pieces.
Step 6
Sprinkle the chopped turkey bacon, reduced-fat cheddar cheese, chopped scallions, and garlic powder evenly over the dough rectangle.
Step 7
Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log, similar to a jelly roll. Pinch the seam to seal.
Step 8
Cut the roll into 8 equal slices and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your heart-healthy bacon and cheese rolls warm!
