Pizza Rolls, making pizza not so boring!

I bet I know what you are thinking… but no, it’s not a cinnamon roll. It’s pizza… Oh yes, that is cheese and herbed french bread you see before you, with hidden layers of pepperoni! Now I bet you are thinking, I want that recipe…. okay. If you insist…

2 cups warm water

2 Tbsp instant yeast

1 Tbsp dried herbs of your choice (oregano, basil, rosemary etc or cheat like I do and buy and italian herb blend seasoning )

2 tsp salt (can use garlic salt…)

2 Tbsp shortening or Extra Virgin Olive Oil

6 cups flour

Follow the directions for my french bread recipe throwing the herbs in with the yeast and don’t bake it. (This bread dough smells like heaven when its rising.)

Next you’re going to need about… 2-3 cups of mozzarella and a few handfuls of pepperoni. Divide your dough in half and roll in to one of those fancy rectangles like you would for cinnamon rolls. Put down a layer of pepperoni and then your shredded cheese. The cheese thing is pretty much by preference… roll it form the short side rather than the long. (this is the opposite form what you do with cinnamon rolls) and slice into 6-8 rolls and place them in a 13×9 inch baking dish.

Like that!

Aren’t they pretty? So you’ll want to repeat with the remaining ingredients and the cover loosely with a kitchen towel to rise. 20 or so minutes. I took the time to preheat my oven cause these babies rose FAST! I mean maybe 10 minutes and they were ready to burst free of my pyrex! Pop in a preheated 350〫F oven for 25-30 minutes.

The kids and Hubs LOVED these! I served with a pizza dipping sauce. Also super easy to make with a can of tomato paste and water (or tomato sauce, we just like ours thicker) and a pizza seasoning and a little garlic salt. (I suggest the Oregon spice company)
