One of our favorite restaurants has these amazing pepperoni rolls on their appetizer menu. One day I decided that I wanted to make my own so I began searching for recipes. I found one that sounded good but decided to attempt my own anyway. I use my basic "go-to" dough recipe as the canvas for this delicious work of food "art". Well, maybe that's a little on the dramatic side but they are seriously good.
For the dough:
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut or olive oil
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- optional: you can also add some Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder
- egg wash (1 egg yolk + 1 tablespoon water), you can replace the egg wash with either of the oils as well
- 2/3-3/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1 package Turkey Pepperoni
- 3-4 cups shredded pizza cheese blend
Using a rolling pin, roll one dough portion into a 10"x15" rectangle. Spoon 1/4-1/3 cup pizza sauce onto the dough and spread evenly over the surface.
Top with half the pepperoni slices (35-40) and half the cheese (1 1/2-2 cups).
Roll dough up jellyroll style (like a cinnamon roll).
Using a sharp knife, cut into 12 (1 1/4") segments. Place in a greased 9"x13" pan. Cover with a damp towel and set rolls aside until they double in size, about 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until nicely browned on the top and bottom.
Repeat the process with the second dough portion.
Enjoy!!
