Sewing and cooking are two of my favorite things. In the past, I often found myself searching for pictures and details of projects I have done, without success. So I decided to start documenting my creations. Then my son suggested I add my recipes to the blog so that they are documented also.

Pepperoni Rolls - Easy to Make for Easter

These yummy individual pepperoni rolls are easy to make from frozen bread rolls. I buy bags of either 36 or 72 Rhodes frozen dinner rolls and make them up in an evening.  If we do not need them for a few days, I pack them in aluminum pans, with layers separated by wax paper, and covered by aluminum foil.  Then I freeze for a week or two.

For 36 rolls you need:

36 Rhodes frozen dinner rolls
1 lb pizza pepperoni
1 lb sliced mozzarella cheese


Defrost the rolls in the refrigerator.  If I am making them in the morning, I place the bag of frozen rolls in the refrigerator overnight.
I slice the cheese so I have approximately a 3 inch square. On a floured surface, I roll out the defrosted roll into a 4 inch circle.  Layer the circle, 4 rounds of pepperoni and a slice of cheese. If you use sandwich pepperoni you only use one slice.



Overlap one side over the other and pinch to close. Using a dab of milk makes the overlap stick better.


Now place on a parchment paper lined cooking sheet and cover with a towel.  Place in a warm area and let rise for 1/2 hour.



Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.  Serve warm or let cool completely before packing to freeze.

    1. I can't see why not. When I make these I will add both but keep them to
      a minimum.

  4. If they’ve defrosted just continue and make your pepperoni rolls. I have a friend who doesn’t even do the rise after constructing them

  6. You can try. The issue with canned biscuits is that they generally don’t stay fresh for days.

  7. Do you think it would work to break each roll in half to make mini pepperoni rolls? Seems like the method would basically be the same with maybe a shorter bake time? I want to make these for a party.
