I hope you enjoy this pepperoni roll recipe for the bread machine! They're good for a fast dinner or an on-the-road lunch. They also freeze wonderfully.
I make this pepperoni roll recipe in my two-pound machine. It makes 18 pepperoni rolls. Note that you’ll be using the dough setting.
Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the bread machine first. I have a Zojirushi machine and with that I add the liquids first.
Make sure you check on the dough after five or ten minutes of kneading. Just pop the top of the bread machine. The dough should be a smooth, round ball. If it’s too dry add liquid a teaspoon at a time until it looks as expected. If it looks too wet, add flour a tablespoon at a time until it looks OK.
When the dough is done put it on a lightly floured board and divide it into 18 pieces of approximately equal size.
Make each of the pieces into a dough ball. Then, flatten each dough ball into a circle of about four inches in diameter. Place 5 pepperoni slices in the middle.
Then roll the dough around the pepperoni.
Pinch the edges closed. Place the roll seam side down on a greased cookie sheet.
Cover the rolls with a clean, light-weight kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for half an hour. Then remove the towel and put the rolls in an oven preheated to 375 degrees for about 17 minutes.
