Pepperoni Rolls

Summer is here, kids are home, and the kitchen is already hot before you start cooking… have an easy and pleasing quick meal! This particular author swears by keeping prepared dough in the fridge at all times, and I think she’s onto something.

(Serves 4)

Flour, for dusting

1 lb (454 g) prepared pizza dough

24 slices pepperoni

½ lb. (226 g) block mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 equal pieces.

Marinara sauce, warmed, for serving

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Dust your working surface area with a little flour. Cut the dough into eight equal parts and roll each piece into a little rectangle. Now add 3 slices of pepperoni and 1 piece of mozzarella into the center of each rectangle. You can use shredded mozzarella if that’s all you have. I don’t recommend it because it’s more difficult to work with, but it’s not impossible. So do what you gotta do.

Using the shorter sides first, fold the dough over the filling. Then do the same with the long ends and pinch them closed with your fingers.

Then place them seam-side down on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Making sure they are seam-side down will help keep them from opening during the baking process.

Now make a small slit on top of each one for ventilation. Not too big, about ½ inch is perfect.

Bake them for about 10 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.

Let them cool for a minute or two before serving with a side of warm marinara sauce.
