How to Make Pepperoni Rolls?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
Prep Your Dough \ud83c\udf5e<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Preheat your oven to 400\u00b0F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the thawed bread dough on a clean surface and cut it into eight equal parts. Use your hands to flatten each piece into a 4×4-inch square. This will be the base for your yummy filling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add the Filling \ud83e\uddc0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Lay two slices of pepperoni in the center of each piece of dough. Then place a piece of mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni. Sprinkle lightly with Italian seasoning. Repeat the process for all the dough pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Roll and Seal \ud83d\udea9<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Fold the edges of the dough over the pepperoni and cheese filling. Roll it up tightly and pinch the seams to make sure it\u2019s sealed. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brush and Bake \ud83e\udd50<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Mix the egg and a splash of water in a small bowl to make an egg wash. Use a pastry brush to coat the tops of the rolls. This step will give them that shiny, appetizing golden brown appearance. Bake for 10\u201312 minutes until the rolls are beautifully golden. Cool slightly, then serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping. Yum! \ud83d\ude0d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
