Pepperoni Rolls

Pepperoni Rolls
1 bag of frozen bread dough (3 logs) (I like using Rhodes)
Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan Cheese
Pepperoni

1. Loosely cover the frozen bread dough with plastic wrap. Allow dough to thaw for a few hours at room temperature. (Spray 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.)
2.  Roll each log out to approximately 11 x 11 square. Brush dough with olive oil or whatever cooking oil you prefer.
3. Lay pepperoni on dough covering entire surface. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Next, sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese.
4. Lightly sprinkle with Italian herbs (dried oregano, parsley and basil). Add a sprinkling of garlic powder.
5. Roll up dough starting at one edge of square. Place rolls on greased baking sheet, leaving space between. Brush some melted butter on top of uncooked pepperoni roll.
6. Bake at 375 degrees for approx. 30-45 minutes. (As with any baking, keep an eye on your roll. This is just an estimated time.)


YUM-O! These had a lot more flavor than I thought they would with so few ingredients. Brandon had so much fun helping me make these. And he loved eating it too. I accidentally bought turkey pepperoni though (don't tell Sean) and the milder flavor of that is probably why Brandon liked it so much. We dipped our pizza in ranch dressing. Mmm. Next time we make this we want to try spreading some pizza sauce on the dough before adding the toppings and rolling it up.

That looks really yummy! Maybe you could just dip the rolls in pizza sauce when you eat them. Wish I could get Rhoades bread dough in Athens:)

Hey maybe if I take a trip to the Island of Rhodes I could find the bread dough there:)
