Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 egg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup homemade low-sodium pepperoni
- 1 cup low-sodium mozzarella cheese
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture is frothy.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, unsalted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually stir in the flour until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a disc on a floured surface.
Place about 2 tablespoons of homemade low-sodium pepperoni and 2 tablespoons of low-sodium mozzarella cheese in the center of each disc.
Fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal the pepperoni roll. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the rolls are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-sodium homemade pepperoni rolls warm!
