Serves 3 to 4
Ingredients:
1 loaf frozen bread dough
Pepperoni
Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese
Avocado Oil
Traditional Italian Seasoning
¼ cup tomato sauce, optional
Instructions:
- Loosely cover frozen bread dough with plastic wrap that has been sprayed or brushed with cooking oil. Allow the dough to thaw for a few hours at room temperature. When dough is completely thawed it will be slightly puffed up.
- Roll dough out to approximately an 11 x11 inch square.
- Brush dough with Avocado Oil. Lay pepperoni on the dough covering the entire surface. Spread tomato sauce evenly over the pepperoni; sprinkle lightly with Traditional Italian Seasoning, or to taste. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and then Parmesan cheese.
- Roll the dough up starting at one edge of the square. Place seam side down on a cookie sheet that has been oiled slightly. Brush the top of the roll with a little Avocado Oil.
- Bake at 375˚F for 15 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. You should be able to make a tapping sound on the crust with your fingernail just as you would when baking bread.
- Allow the pepperoni roll to cool completely before slicing.
NOTE: Substitute your favorite Lesley Elizabeth oil or seasoning in this recipe. May also use different meats or cheeses.
