So I didn't know what to do with myself today so I decided what not bake something! I took the idea of cinnamon rolls and took pepperoni bread and cut up the dough into pepperoni rolls! They are really cute and delicious and I think would be really fun for parties!
I made my Go-To Pizza dough and after it rose I dumped it out on to a floured surface and stretch it out over the surface into a large rectangle. I cover the dough with mozzarella cheese and tons of pepperoni and a light dusting of garlic powder. I start at the long end and start rolling, rolling, rolling. Making sure that is it tight and everything is tucked in. I tuck in the ends so the pepperoni and cheese don't fall out and normally I would just bake this as the long log but I took the idea from cinnamon rolls and cut them into about 1 to 1.5 inch think piece and stood them on end on a baking sheet.
Before the bakeI put them in a preheated 400 degree oven for 13-15 minutes until golden brown and the bottoms were nice and brown. Next time I think I will brush them with some egg wash to make them browner and beautiful.
Hot out of the oven They are so good!! And so cute, and I think you could even make them smaller some how and use at parties for a little munchie. I thought this was a great idea and I am glad I came up with it!!

Good job! Very creative. That was clever making them like cinnamon rolls. I never thought of doing that. You are right. They would be a great party snack. As for the egg wash you could also sprinkle some Parm onto the wet egg wash so it sticks during the baking.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ma! I, personally, wouldn't put the Parmesan on the egg wash, I am weird about brown Parmesan I think...I feel it always gets too dark and I don't like the way it tastes, but you go for it! :)
