Pepperoni Rolls

Growing up in West Virginia, these pepperoni rolls were a staple. My neighbor taught me how to make them when I was in elementary school when she would have my sister and I over to her house for cooking lessons. You could also find these on the school lunch menu and any softball games at the concession stand. If you haven’t tried them before, you’re missing out. They’re so incredibly simple, but the flavor is fantastic. I like eating them plain, but you can also serve them with a side of marinara for dipping if you’re serving them as an appetizer.




1. Preheat oven to 350. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Press each dough ball into a small circle and top with 2 slices of pepperoni and a sprinkle of colby jack cheese. Fold up the sides until completely sealed. Lay each roll seam side down on the prepared baking sheets.

3. Brush each roll with the beaten egg and sprinkle with parmesan and basil. Bake for 20 minutes.

4. Let cool slightly, then enjoy! To reheat, place in the microwave for 30 seconds.
