Delight your taste buds with these irresistible Pepperoni Rolls OAMC – a perfect blend of soft homemade bread, gooey mozzarella, and savory pepperoni. This freezer-friendly recipe is ideal for meal prepping, as the rolls can be baked fresh or reheated on demand, making them a convenient snack or quick lunch option. The fluffy dough, made from scratch with all-purpose flour and a touch of olive oil, wraps tenderly around a cheesy, pepperoni-filled center, ensuring a burst of flavor in every bite. Finished with a golden egg wash, these rolls are as visually appealing as they are delicious. Whether enjoyed straight out of the oven or reheated from frozen, these handheld delights are sure to become a family favorite.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-6 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small rectangle, approximately 6x4 inches.
Place 5 pepperoni slices and about 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each rectangle.
Fold the sides of the dough over the filling, then roll it up tightly from one end. Pinch the seams to seal the roll completely and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush each roll lightly with the mixture.
Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the rolls to cool completely if freezing. To freeze, wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap and store in a resealable freezer bag or airtight container for up to 3 months.
To reheat, remove plastic wrap and microwave frozen rolls for 1-2 minutes or bake in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
