Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Plant-based pepperoni slices
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together 2 1/2 cups of the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, stirring until a soft dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, adding additional flour if needed until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 12x18 inches in size.
Layer the plant-based pepperoni evenly over the dough, leaving a small border along the edges. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the pepperoni.
Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, starting from a long edge, and pinch the seams to seal them.
Place the log seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the dough.
Using a sharp knife, make a few small slits on top of the roll to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Allow the pepperoni roll to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
