Pepperoni Rolls

 

Pepperoni Rolls

 

Frozen Bread Dough (Rhodes)

Sandwich Pepperoni (from the deli)

Shredded Mozzarella

Shredded Parmesan

Italian Seasoning

Garlic Salt or Garlic Powder

Pizza Sauce (optional for dipping)

 

Loosely cover the frozen bread dough with plastic wrap. Allow dough to thaw for a few hours at room temperature.

Here's a tip: spray the plastic wrap with cooking oil, or brush with cooking oil and lay it, oiled side down on the bread dough. This allows the bread dough to rise and move easily under the plastic wrap without it sticking or holding back the dough.

When dough is completely thawed it will be puffed up a bit.

Roll dough out to approximately 11 x 11 square.

One frozen dough log makes one pepperoni roll.
Brush dough with olive oil or whatever cooking oil you prefer.

Lay pepperoni on dough covering entire surface. I like to use sandwich pepperoni from the deli.

Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Next, sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese. You can use grated from a can if that is what you already have on hand...but you can buy the shredded Parmesan in a bag.

Lightly sprinkle with Italian herbs...basically, some dried oregano, parsley and basil. Be careful, not too much....oregano can be very strong and you don't want too much!

Add a sprinkling of garlic powder.

Roll up dough starting at one edge of square.

Place rolls on baking sheet, leaving space between.

Brush some melted butter on top of uncooked pepperoni roll.

You do not need to let rise. Bake it right away. It will rise up in the oven perfectly.

Bake at 375 degrees for approx. 15 to 25 minutes.
Oven temps. and times may vary.
When done, top of roll should be golden brown and you should be able to make a tapping sound on the crust with your fingernail...just the same as when baking bread.
Make sure you allow pepperoni roll to cool completely before serving.

As with any baking, keep an eye on your roll. This is just an estimated time. You'll know it's done when the roll is golden and makes a hard tapping sound when you tap it with your fingernail...just like when baking a loaf of bread.

**Make sure you allow your pepperoni roll to cool completely before slicing!

 

Serve with Pizza Sauce for dipping!!
