These are a wonderful alternative to processed Hot Pockets Crunchy crust filled with cheese and pepperoni. I made them last night and they were gone in like 60 seconds. I fill them with so much more than pepperoni. Try broccoli, ham, and cheese; baking time remains the same.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Sweet delicate bread holds in cheese, sauce, and pepperoni in these pepperoni rolls. They're almost like little bombs of pepperoni pizza. They're great for game day, a party, or if you have a bunch of hungry teenagers. These won't last long. If you want these oozing with cheese, consider making the cubes of mozzarella cheese slightly larger.

Ingredients

ITALIAN BREAD ROLLS

1 teaspoon white sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
2 3/4 - 3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
- corn meal
1 large egg white, slightly beaten

How To Make pepperoni rolls

Step 1

In a small bowl, add warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes until the yeast is dissolved and frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour and 1 tsp salt. Add yeast mixture. Beat on the low speed of an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Scrape the bowl. Beat for 3 minutes at high speed.
Step 3

Switch to a dough hook and slowly add the remaining flour.
Step 4

Once a ball is formed, knead on medium speed for 8-10 minutes. Alternatively, this can be done by hand on a floured surface.
Step 5

Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease the surface. Cover. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size; 1 to 1 1/2 hours depending on the room's temperature.
Step 6

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. After rising, punch down the dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Form a rectangle about 3/8th inch thick. Cut into 8 equal pieces.
Step 7

Flatten each to about a 5” X 5” square and put 4-6 slices of pepperoni, 1 tsp of pizza sauce, and a small amount of mozzarella cheese in each roll.
Step 8

Bring edges to the middle and crimp to seal. Be sure to get a good seal.
Step 9

Place a greased baking sheet lightly sprinkled with cornmeal about 2 inches apart. Cover and allow to rise for about 45 minutes.
Step 10

Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt.
Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden brown.
