Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing bowl
  • Parchment paper
  • Baking sheet
  • pastry brush

Ingredients
  

Pizza Dough

  • 1 lb Pizza Dough homemade or store bought
  • 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2.25 teaspoons Yeast

Pepperoni Rolls

  • 6 oz Pepperoni package
  • 8 oz Provolone cheese sliced
  • 0.5 lb Fontina cheese sliced from the deli counter if available
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano divided; plus more for topping
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder divided; plus more for topping
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Water
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
  • Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • If making homemade pizza dough, follow recipe directions and then proceed. If using store-bought, then allow to rest at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°. Cut pizza dough into 8 balls (2 oz each). Roll each ball into approximately 6”x6” square.
  • Starting with fontina cheese. Layer 1 oz of it and a couple of slices of provolone both down the middle of the dough, leaving a ½" border on the edge. Sprinkle over ⅛ teaspoon each of the oregano and garlic powder. Top with about 8-10 slices of pepperoni.
  • Pick a side and roll the dough around the cheese and pepperoni tucking the filling as needed. When you reach the end, pinch the dough closed. Place the pepperoni roll seam side down on a parchment covered sheet pan.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together and use a pastry brush to brush over the egg wash over the tops of the rolls.
  • Sprinkle over generous amounts of parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Bake for about 15 minutes until golden and crispy.

Notes

Can use frozen bread dough or premade pizza dough. For a spicy version, use crushed red pepper inside/outside plus a drizzle of hot honey on top before serving. Storage: Once completely cooled, wrap any leftovers in foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
