I’m trying these tomorrow, only putting a homemade meatball and chunks mozzarella inside. I’ll serve with marinara sauce on the side, following your recipe for prepping and baking. wish me luck!

I made these rolls but used pepperoni slIces instead of pepperoni dtivks. I brushed the tops with egg. They were DELICIOUS!

This is similar to a recipe i found on your site about 10 years ago. I have been looking for it but can’t find it. I forget the name of it but I remember it had pepperoni slices, and string cheese logs that were cut up into About 2” pieces. I think you put a few thawed rolls together and rolled it out into a circle then cut wedges. You placed pepperOni slices, 2 I think, a piece of string cheese on a wEdge and then rolled them Up. I think they were brushed With a yummy garliCky oil or butter before baking. I think they Were called something like pepperoni or pizza rOllups. Do you still have that recipe available somewhere? KiCking myself that i didn’t save it!

Oh, found them on another site. They Are called “pizza roll ups” by Rhodes Bake-N-serve! You guys should have them on your own site, too! They are delicious!

I’m making these now. I brushed the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with Parm and Everything Bagel. Keep you fingers crossed. I am concerned about rising length time. I added string cheese to the pepperoni. I hope it softens or melts. I love this roll dough. I cut one “lump” in half to make finger sandwiches. One lump is great for a small hamburger bun. My friends and neighbors are hooked on your product.

They were delicious!

Can you make with bread dough instead of rolls??
Debbie from Rhodes
Yes, you can. If you have the Dinner Rolls you can use 12 rolls to make a loaf of bread. Let the rolls thaw and shape into a loaf. Let it rise and bake it at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
Deb
I have frozen bread loaf dough.
How do you thaw it yo mane pepperoni rolls
Debbie from Rhodes
Thaw the Bread on your counter until it is completely thawed through. On loaf of Bread Dough is equal to 12 Dinner size Rolls. Then you are able to follow the recipe.

I make pepperoni rolls and only with RHODES dough! I also add sliced peperoncini that I drain and DRy with paper towel to the pepperoni and mozzarella. Always a hit!!

THE LAST FEW TIMES MY ROLLS DID NOT RISE ONE BIT! I COVERED THEM, MY KITCHEN WAS WARM, I EVEN PUT THEM IN A WARM OVEN, AND STILL WOULD NOT RISE. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?????
Debbie from Rhodes
Be sure to check the “best by” date before purchasing. If the yeast is not active the rolls will not rise. Send me your name and address and I will send you a replacement coupon.
