Pepperoni Roll

This Pizza Roll I found on Pinterest was a huge hit! I found it over at http://whataboutpie.blogspot.com/2010/10/pepperoni-rolls.html.

3 Loaves Rhodes Frozen Bread Dough
1 packages Pepperoni
2 Cups Mozzarella
1 Cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Italian Seasoning
3 Tbs Olive Oil
Garlic Powder
3 Tbsp Melter Butter
1 Jar Marinara Sauce

Loosely cover the frozen bread dough with plastic wrap. Allow dough to thaw for a few hours at room temperature. Roll dough out to approximately 11 x 11 square. One frozen dough log makes one pepperoni roll. Brush dough with olive oil, lay pepperoni on dough covering entire surface.  Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese & shredded Parmesan cheese. Lightly sprinkle with Italian Herbs, (dried oregano, parsley and basil) a little goes a long way. Sprinkle garlic powder over the cheese. Roll up dough starting at one edge of square. Place rolls on baking sheet, leaving space between. Brush melted butter on top of uncooked pepperoni roll. Bake at 375  degrees for 15-25 minutes. They will rise in the oven perfectly. When done, top of roll should be golden brown and you should be able to make a tapping sound on the crust with your fingernail, allow pepperoni roll to cool before serving. Dip in your favorite marinara sauce.

Sausage Pizza Loaf

I got this off of my friend Elizabeth's blog and the whole family loved it.

1 lb bulk Italian sausage

1/4 cup each chopped red onion, red pepper, green pepper, and olives

2 packages (6 1/2 ounces each) pizza crust mix

1 cup (4 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup chopped pepperoni

1 egg, lightly beaten

2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

In a large skillet, cook the sausage, onion, and peppers over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain.

Combine crust mixes; prepare according to package directions. With greased fingers, press onto the bottom of a greased 15-in x 10-in x 1-in baking pan. Combine the sausage mixture, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, olives and egg; spread over dough to within 1/2 inch of the edges.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, oregano and garlic powder. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with the long side; pinch seams to seal. Arrange seam side down on pan and shape into a crescent. Bake at 400F for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Yields: 15 servings

This recipe has no sauce in it so I heated up some spaghetti sauce and we dipped our pieces into it.

Poor remaining BBQ sauce on the spread dough for the sauce. Add 1 cup cheese on top of sauce. Put meat mixture on top. Top with cheese and bake at 325 for 17 minutes.

BBQ Chicken Pizza

We got together with some friends the other night and we ordered pizza, and we had the most delicious pizza. As I was eating it I thought to myself this would be pretty easy to make, especially if you used some shortcuts, and sure enough it's a quick but yummy meal, I like mine with Onions on it, the one we had originally didn't have onions, but it adds another level of flavor to the pizza. Hope you enjoy it!
