Pepperoni Pizza Rolls Recipe

Pepperoni Pizza Rolls Recipe

Ingredients:


Dough 

1. 1 1/2 cups warm water
2. 5 teaspoons rapid-rise yeast
3. 1/3 cup olive oil
4. 2 tablespoons sugar
5. 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
6. 4 to 5 cups bread flour 

Filling 

1. 2 cups spaghetti sauce
2. 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
3. 3 tablespoons olive oil
4. Salt and pepper, for dusting
5. 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
6. 1 1/2 pounds shredded mozzarella cheese
7. 8 to 12 ounces pepperoni, sliced   

Cooking procedure

1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Hand whisk water and yeast together in the mixer bowl and let stand 2 to 3 minutes until the yeast dissolves.
3. Briskly whisk in the oil, sugar, salt, and most of the flour.
4. Mix until combined, then knead with the dough hook on lowest speed 8 to 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary to make a soft, bouncy dough
5. Remove the dough hook and spray the dough with spray oil.
6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap & let the dough rise for about  45 minutes.
7. Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and gently deflate.
8. Let the dough rest another 20 minutes
9. Roll or press dough out
10. Spoon on spaghetti sauce, garlic, and olive oil; dust with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning sauce.
11. Sprinkle on the cheese and scatter the pepperoni
12. Roll the dough jellyroll-style and place it on the baking sheet.  Refrigerate or freeze for 20 minutes.  Chilling the dough makes it easier to cut the slices without squishing the dough
13. Remove the dough from the refrigerator or freezer (I used the freezer) and cut it into 1 1/2 inch slices
14. Place the slices on prepared baking sheet.  Leave some space between the slices so the rolls have room to rise.
15. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.  Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly and the buns are golden, about 20 to 25 minutes.
