Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 20 servings

  • 1 (1 pound) loaf frozen bread dough

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

  • ½ tablespoon dried basil leaves

  • ½ tablespoon dried minced onion flakes

  • ½ tablespoon dried oregano

  • 1 (8 ounce) package sliced pepperoni sausage

  • 1 (6 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Directions

  1. Allow frozen bread dough to thaw in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight. Place dough in a large, lightly greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a dish towel and place in a warm space until doubled in size, 2 to 3 hours. Punch down dough.

  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet.

  3. Roll dough into a 12x18-inch rectangle on the prepared baking sheet. Brush dough lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with basil, onion flakes, and oregano. Layer with pepperoni to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Top with mozzarella cheese.

  4. Beginning with the longest edge, roll dough into a thin cylinder and seal the seam. Brush with beaten egg.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Cut into bite-sized pieces to serve.
