Materials

  • 12 frozen dinner rolls, such as Rhodes thawed and proofed according to package instructions
  • 1 6.5 oz pepperoni stick
  • 5 oz mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 ℉.
  • Cut the pepperoni into three large chunks, about 3 - 4 inches long. Next, peel the natural casing off each piece. Then, cut a chunk in half, lengthwise. Cut the halves into 4 long, thin pieces.
  • Cut cheese into long thin pieces similar in size to the pepperoni sticks.
  • Pat or roll each dough ball on a large piece of wax or parchment paper into roughly 4 1/2-inches long rectangle. (Try not to flour dough surface; it could keep dough from sealing.) Place a piece of pepperoni and cheese together towards one edge, and roll the dough over. Place another piece of pepperoni and roll dough again. (Put 3 - 4 pieces of pepperoni per roll). Pinch the ends to seal.
  • Mix salt, garlic powder, and oregano in melted butter. Arrange rolls seam side down on a sheet pan and brush the tops with the seasoned butter. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes.
