Equipment

  • A large bowl
  • work surface
  • Knife
  • 12 cup muffin tin
  • kitchen scissors (optional but recommended)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ⅓ cup broccoli florets minced (no stems)

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat Your Oven and Make the Dough. Pre-heat your oven to 350 F and set the rack to the middle position.In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese) with the self-rising flour. Stir until a dough forms, then knead gently until smooth. If it feels sticky, sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until it’s no longer sticky.
  • Roll It Out. Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the dough into a rectangle shape, making one side slightly longer than the other.
  • Step 3: Add the Fillings.Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the dough, followed by the minced broccoli florets.I just used kitchen scissors to cut the florets into small pieces. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough up gently into a log. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 1-inch rounds.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown.Place each pinwheel into a muffin tin (it doesn’t have to be perfect — they’ll puff up beautifully). Bake at 350°F for 15–17 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and the tops are golden brown. Cool slightly, then enjoy warm!
