Pepperoni Bread Made Easy
The classic pepperoni roll consists of a fairly soft white yeast bread roll with pepperoni baked in the middle. During baking, the fats in the pepperoni (which are hard at room temperature) melt, resulting in a spicy oil suffusing into the bread. Pepperoni rolls are typically eaten as a snack or as the main dish of a lunch either unheated or slightly warm.
The “recipe” is not much of one, and it is super simple! I didn’t measure anything, just went on sight, and the knowledge that I like a lot of pepperoni!
Pepperoni Bread Made Easy
1 loaf frozen (or refrigerated) bread dough
Sliced pepperoni
Shredded mozzarella cheese or Mild Cheddar Jack ( I have used the two cheeses, because I like cheesy)
1. Allow the frozen bread dough to thaw/raise throughout the day. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut the dough in half and roll out two rectangles. Layer the pepperoni on the dough, and then cover with mozzarella cheese. Roll up lengthwise and seal the ends and seam and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
3. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Do I put the amounts, because it is individual taste
Variants: is very tasty with sautéed onions, mozzarella, and oregano …
Another variation I like is with blue cheese! mmmm yummy .. is bread stuffed with blue cheese.
If you put pizza sauce, pepperoni and cheese, you get a calzones
