Rose Pizza Rolls

Ingredients (Makes 12 Rolls)

2 Country Home Bakers® Italian/French Bread Item #00052 (thawed)

  • 16 oz. sliced pepperoni
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1 small jar pizza sauce
  • All-purpose flour (dusting)
  • Dried oregano (topping)
  • Olive oil (brushing)

Preparation

  • Preheat convection oven to 400°F
  • Roll out each raw dough loaf into a 12” x 12” square. Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
  • Use pizza cutter to cut 6 – 2” strips on each square (12 total).
  • Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce on each strip making sure to cover the ends. This will help the rolls stick in place.
  • Sprinkle 1/8 cup mozzarella cheese on each strip.
  • Place 5-6 slices of pepperoni on the first strip. Let pepperoni hang off the edge about ½” to create a pedal effect when rolled. Roll up the strip tightly and place in center of the greased cupcake pan, pepperoni side up. Repeat for all strips.
  • Let rolls proof on the bench top covered for about 45 minutes.
  • Brush sides with olive oil before baking and top with oregano.
  • Bake for 12 minutes. Enjoy!
