Pepperoni Rolls

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 27 minutes

Ingredients

16 ounces frozen bread dough, thawed (thaw according to package directions)

16 slices pepperoni

4 slices mozzarella cheese, cut into 4ths

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 large egg, well beaten

splash of water

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large sheet tray with parchment paper, and set aside.

Place the thawed bread dough onto a clean work surface. Cut into 8 equal parts.

Flatten out the dough to about 4x4 inch diameter. I just used my hands to flatten and spread it out.

Place 2 slices of pepperoni in the center of each piece of dough (note: you can add more if you like.)

Add 2 slices of the cut cheese on top.

Sprinkle the cheese with the Italian seasoning (you can add as much or as little as you like).

Fold the two outer edges over the filling, then tightly roll, pinching the seams together until secure.

Place seam side down onto the prepared sheet tray. Repeat with the remaining rolls, and place them not touching on the tray.

In a small bowl whisk together the egg and water. Brush the exposed bread dough lightly with the egg wash.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for about 5 minutes on the tray before serving. Serve with pizza or marinara sauce, if you prefer.
