Oh man, oh man, oh man! Want the taste of pepperoni pizza, but want to do it a little bit differently? Here’s your answer – Pepperoni Rolls! This recipe is all over the internet (well, all over pinterest) and it’s so easy. It’s like a pizza meets a calzone. Kind of.
The key to this is to use bread dough, not pizza dough. I tried pizza dough one time, thinking that it’d be the same, but it isn’t. My favorite is the Rhodes frozen bread loaves – it makes a great roll. Just beware that each loaf will probably only feed three people (and maybe only two if they are hungry teenagers), so you might want to make more than one roll at a time.
Pepperoni Roll
Ingredients
- Bread Dough (either frozen dough defrosted & risen or a tube of bread dough that you’d get in the dairy case at the grocery store)
- Pepperoni (turkey or regular, sandwich-sized or regular)
- Cheese (probably Mozzarella, but use whatever you like)
- Parmesean Cheese
- Olive Oil
- Seasoning (italian seasoning, garlic powder, oregano, parsley, basil, whatever your taste is for)
- Marinara for dipping
Instructions
- Prep your bread dough (if needed) according to the instructions. Roll out your dough as thin as you can to about an 10×10 square. Since you're going to roll it, you want it then as each piece will really have 2-3 "layers" of dough.
- Brush the dough with olive oil (if desired).
- Sprinkle with seasonings – I usually just use Italian seasoning & garlic powder, but you can mix & match oregano, parsley, basil.
- Lay pepperoni on the dough. Make sure you get pretty close to the edges.
- Sprinkle with cheeses.
- Roll it up and place on a cookie sheet.
- Brush with butter (if desired). I usually do cause it's yummy!
- Bake at 375 for about 15-20 minutes. It'll be golden brown when done.
- Let cool a little before serving. I like to serve with marinara on the side.
