INGREDIENTS
- I use pre packaged frozen dough, cheese, pepperoni, some herbs and olive oil.
PREPARATION
STEP 1
Loosely cover the frozen bread dough with plastic wrap. Allow dough to thaw for a few hours at room temperature.
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. Lightly sprinkle with Italian herbs dried oregano, parsley basil 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. give it time to cool and set up.
