Pepperoni Roll Up
Description
Pepperoni Roll Up starts with bread dough rolled into a square and layered with overlapping slices of pepperoni seasoned lightly with Italian herbs. A blend of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese adds richness inside the roll. After rolling into a loaf, a topping of melted butter mixed with Parmesan and garlic powder is brushed on to enhance browning and flavor. Baking yields a golden crust with a tender, flavorful interior filled with melted cheese and pepperoni slices. The roll is sliced and served warm alongside marinara sauce for dipping, making it a satisfying, snackable dish.
This recipe suggests avoiding watery or crunchy fresh additions unless precooked to prevent sogginess. Pizza dough can substitute for bread dough but requires adjusted cooking time. To prevent excessive browning, the loaf can be tented with foil during baking. An instant-read thermometer confirms the dough is cooked through, ideally reaching 190°F. The recipe serves about six portions.
