Both my husband and I are big pizza fans, so we created these pizza rolls that we like to take to parties. I think they'd be fun to set out for Santa to enjoy, along with his milk and cookies! Ingredients:
4 to 4-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup water |
1 tablespoon shortening |
1 egg |
3 cups (12 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1-1/3 cups minced pepperoni (about 5 ounces) |
2 cups pizza sauce, warmed |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, oregano and salt. In a saucepan, heat water and shortening to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat until moistened. Add egg; beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Stir in cheese and pepperoni; mix well. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into four pieces. Divide each piece into eight balls. Roll each ball into a 12-in. rope. Tie into a loose knot, leaving two long ends. Fold top end under roll; bring bottom end up and press into center of roll. Place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
4. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with pizza sauce. Yield: 32 appetizers.
