Ingredients

• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1.25 cups warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 200 grams sliced pepperoni
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

Stir in 2 cups of flour and the salt into the yeast mixture. Add the olive oil and mix well.

Step 3

Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.

Step 8

On a floured surface, roll each portion into a 6x4-inch rectangle.

Step 9

Place 4-5 slices of pepperoni and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese onto each rectangle.

Step 10

Roll each rectangle from the short side to enclose the filling completely, pinching the seams to seal.

Step 11

Arrange the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

Step 13

Brush the tops of each roll with the egg wash.

Step 14

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 15

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
