Pepperoni Rolls

CC Original

Use homemade bread dough or frozen.

Use 2-3 oz pieces of dough, flattened to about the size of hand, about 6″ long and 3″ wide.  Place thin little sticks of pepperoni (about 1 oz) long way on dough then roll up and pinch to seal.  Place on baking sheet greased with DOBIE.

Let rise until double, then bake at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.  Brush tops with melted margarine.  Let cool a bit, then enjoy.

These freeze well but don’t have to be refrigerated if used within 2-3 days.  Be sure they’re packaged in something air tight so they’ll stay fresh.

If you prefer you can grind the pepperoni instead of making sticks.  To make the sticks, cut lengths of pepperoni about 4″ long then cut in half, then fourths, then slices, etc.

Can be revived well in oven or microwaved, sliced and cheese or sauce or whatever added.  Experiment and find your own delightful combination.
