Cheesy Pepperoni Twist Rolls Recipe!
Frozen bread dough
Pepperoni
Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese
Olive oil
Italian seasoning
1/4 cup tomato sauce (Optional)
8 slices bacon
1 small to medium onion if desired
diced finely
Directions: Loosely cover the frozen
bread dough with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to thaw for a few hours at room
temperature. When the dough is completely thawed it will be slightly puffed up.
Here's a tip: Spray the plastic wrap with cooking oil, or brush it with cooking
oil and lay it, oiled side down on the bread dough. This allows the bread dough
to rise and move easily under the plastic wrap without it sticking or holding
back the dough. cook and crumble bacon Roll dough out
to an approximately 11 x 11 inch square. One frozen dough log makes one
pepperoni roll. Brush dough with olive oil or whatever cooking oil you prefer.
Lay pepperoni on the dough covering entire surface. Sprinkle with shredded
mozzarella cheese. Next, sprinkle it with shredded Parmesan cheese and lightly
sprinkle it with Italian seasoning. Add a sprinkling of garlic salt
(optional).and add crumbled bacon and finely diced onion if so desired. Roll up
the dough starting at one edge of the square. Place rolls on baking sheet,
leaving space between them if you are making more than one roll. Brush some
melted butter on top of the uncooked pepperoni roll(s). Bake at 375 degrees F
for approximately 15 to 25 minutes. Oven temperatures and times may vary. When
done, the top of the rolls should be golden brown and you should be able to
make a tapping sound on the crust with your fingernail (the same as when baking
bread). Make sure you allow your pepperoni roll to cool completely before
slicing and serving it.
