Game Day Pepperoni Roll Recipes

GAME DAY PEPPERONI ROLL

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Butter a cookie sheet. An 18 X 13 should do. Roll out Pillsbury Pizza dough. Roll it out to fit the size of the pan. lightly drizzle garlic powder over the area. (use lightly as to not over power with garlicky flavor)Grab a hand full of pepperoni and start to lay them out. I like to lay rows and columns from top to bottom to fill area of pizza dough. (This package of Pepperoni is enough for 2 rolls) Next sprinkle mozzarella over the entire area but leave a handful of shredded cheese for topping.
• 2. Now the fun part...Take about an inch from the length and fold over. I usually go left to right. At this point begin creating your roll by rolling dough all the way to the end. Turn the roll now to fit lengthwise. Option: brush whipped egg over roll. This will add a crisp and pretty shinyness to your roll. Sprinkle with Garlic Salt now and add the leftover mozzarella to sprinkle over the top.
• 3. Bake at 425 degree for about 17 min's or until golden/brown. Let it cool for about 5 min's and with a nice sharp knife start slicing at the end of the roll and make your way down. You can serve with a side salad and ranch or marinara sauce to dip your slices into. Yum!!!

PEPPERONI ROLL

Steps:

• For the dough: Combine the flour, salt and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Stir to combine, then add 1 cup water. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together into a rough ball. Continue mixing at medium-low speed until the dough forms a smooth, silky ball, about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a tight ball, set in the bottom of the mixer bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until the dough has roughly doubled in size, about an hour.
• For the pepperoni roll: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roll the dough out into a rectangle 1/4 inch thick. If the dough isn't stretching well, cover and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, then stretch again.
• Leaving a 1/2-inch border, cover the dough with the sliced pepperoni. Cover the pepperoni with the mozzarella. Fold over the outside edges of the dough and roll up lengthwise like a jelly roll.
• Transfer the roll to the baking sheet, seam-side down. Make 6 shallow cuts on an angle on the top of the roll. Brush with the oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
