Pepperoni Rolls


This has been a tailgate staple for years. These make me laugh as - when we would leave a tailgate to head into the Steeler game I'd see people loading up their pockets with these for a gametime snack! It works! With the Super Bowl looming it was time to pull out this recipe!

Pepperoni Rolls

Ingredients
1/2 stick better
1 1/2 cup, scolded milk
1/3 cup lukewarm water
1 egg
1 TBSP salt
5 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar, 1 tsp sugar
1 TBSP yeast - 2 packets
1 large pepperoni stick
1 egg beaten

Directions
Add butter & sugar to hot milk.
Stir and allow to cool.
Mix yeast with lukewarm water & tsp. sugar. It should puff up in 5 minutes

Mix the egg, salt and all but 1 cup of flour with the yeast mixture until a soft dough forms. Gradually add the rest of the flour and knead for 8-10 minutes or until elastics.
Cover and let rise 1-2 hours

Peel the casing from the pepperoni and cut into 1/2 in. X 2 in. logs. Place a log on a piece of dough. Fold the sides into the center & roll to completely covered.

Place on a greased cookie sheet and allow to rise an hour. (I don't always do this & they turn out fine)

Brush with a beaten egg.

Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
