Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1.25 cups warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 ounces pepperoni slices
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients while mixing until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten into a small rectangle or oval shape on a floured surface.

Step 7

Place 4-5 pepperoni slices and a small handful of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough piece.

Step 8

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching them together tightly to seal. Roll gently to form a smooth, sealed log shape.

Step 9

Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over each roll for a shiny, golden finish.

Step 11

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the rolls with Italian seasoning for extra flavor.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let the pepperoni rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
