pizza rolls

this is a favorite for potlucks. they're easy to make and they're kid friendly. max loves them, so i like to make a batch and put the extras in the fridge...they last a couple days and then i can just pop them in the microwave for 20 seconds whenever max wants a couple.

1 to 1.25 lb. ball of dough (most grocery stores sell this...if not on the shelf ask the bakery)
1/4 lb. sliced pepperoni
shredded cheese of your choice

1. let dough rise in a bowl (cover with towel) for about an hour.

2. roll dough out to 1/8" thickness and shaped like a rectangle.

3. sprinkle lightly with shredded cheese...a nice layer, but don't over do it!

4. line up pepperoni...i don't overlap them.

5. start rolling into a log from one of the longer sides, so the roll is long not short.

6. slice at about 3/4" to 1" thicknesses and place on a nonstick baking sheet...or pizza stone.

7. bake at 375°F for about 20 minutes or until tops are golden brown.

8. remove and cool on cooling rack. serve with ranch dressing and marinara sauce for dipping. one ball of dough makes about 24 pizza rolls.

i haven't tried to make them with different ingredients like veggies, but i'm looking forward to creating variations. i think with vegetables i'll have to calculate in the moisture factor...so more to come on this one!
