West Virginia Pepperoni Rolls

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 50 minutes
Servings 16 Rolls

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Tablespoon Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 Cup Warm Water 110 degrees
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar Divided
  • 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar Light or Dark (I used Light)
  • 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 1/2 Cups Bread Flour
  • 1 1/4 Cups All Purpose Flour

Instructions

  1. In the mixer bowl, add 1 cup of warm water, 1/2 Tablespoon of the sugar and 1/2 Table spoon Active Dry Yeast.
  2. Whisk and allow to bloom for 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. With the mixer on lowest setting, add the remaining sugar, brown sugar, oil, salt and bread flour and mix until incorporated.
  4. Switch to the dough hook attachment and add all purpose flour and knead on low speed for 6 to 8 minutes, until dough comes together from the sides of the mixing bowl.
  5. Place the dough into a glass bowl coated with oil to keep the dough from drying out. Cover the top with plastic wrap and then place a kitchen towel over the plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot in the kitchen and allow to rise until doubled in size. This takes about 2 hours.
  6. After the dough has risen, much the dough down and place onto a well floured surface. Cut the dough in half. Then continue cutting the pieces in half until you have 16 equal pieces.
  7. With a rolling pin roll each piece into an oblong shape. Place 3 slices of pepperoni into the center of each dough leaving about 1/4 of an inch on either end. Roll the dough up into a log, pinch together the ends and tuck underneath.
  8. Place the rolls onto a parchment lined baking sheet about 1/2 apart.
  9. Place into a 375 degree oven and bake until golden brown, about 18 to 20 minutes.
  10. remove to a wire rack to cool slightly. serve warm.
