Week 26: Recipe #3--Pepperoni Rolls

This not the healthiest dinner, but these are quick, tasty, and a different take on pizza.  The husband and kids loved them.  I found them on Pinterest.  They come from a blog called What About Pie (see link below).  There isn't amounts of how much she uses, so I just estimated.  Plus, I only made one, and that was enough for our family of 4 (although are girls are still pretty small and don't eat too much).  I served these with spaghetti sauce for dipping, a green salad, and fruit.

You'll Need:
  • frozen bread dough (I used Rhodes, which is what the blogger recommended.  It's found in the freezer section of the grocery store, near other frozen breads)  
  • pepperoni
  • mozzarella cheese
  • parmesan cheese
  • olive oil
  • Italian herbs
  • garlic powder
  • spaghetti sauce, for dipping
Preparation:
  1. Loosely cover the frozen bread dough with plastic wrap.  Allow dough to thaw for a few hours at room temperature.  Hint:  spray the wrap 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. When dough is completely thawed it will be puffed up a bit.  Roll dough out to approximately 11 x 11 square.  One frozen dough log makes one pepperoni dough.
  3. Lay pepperoni on dough covering entire surface.  Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle with shredded parmesan.  Lightly sprinkle with Italian herbs (dried oregeno, parsley, and basil).  Add a sprinkling of garlic powder.
  4. Roll up dough starting at one edge of the square.  Place rolls on baking sheet, leaving space between.  Brush some melted butter on top of uncooked pepperoni rolls.  Bake at 375 for 15 to 25 minutes.  When done, the top of the roll should be golden brown and you should be able to make a tapping sound on the crust with your fingernail...just the same as when baking bread.  Cool completely before serving.
