Parmesan Pepper Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Make Classic Shortbread dough (recipe follows), adding 1/2 cup parmesan, 1 tablespoon lemon zest and 2 teaspoons pepper with the butter. Roll into tiny balls, then bake 8 to 12 minutes at 300 degrees.
• Classic Shortbread dough: Beat 2 sticks butter, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Whisk 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt, then stir into the butter mixture.

Steps:

• For the dough: Combine the flour, salt and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Stir to combine, then add 1 cup water. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together into a rough ball. Continue mixing at medium-low speed until the dough forms a smooth, silky ball, about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a tight ball, set in the bottom of the mixer bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until the dough has roughly doubled in size, about an hour.
• For the pepperoni roll: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roll the dough out into a rectangle 1/4 inch thick. If the dough isn't stretching well, cover and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, then stretch again.
• Leaving a 1/2-inch border, cover the dough with the sliced pepperoni. Cover the pepperoni with the mozzarella. Fold over the outside edges of the dough and roll up lengthwise like a jelly roll.
• Transfer the roll to the baking sheet, seam-side down. Make 6 shallow cuts on an angle on the top of the roll. Brush with the oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Mix cream cheese and 3/4 cup Parmesan until blended.
• Unroll dough; separate into 8 rectangles. Press seams and perforations together to seal. Spread with cream cheese mixture; top with peppers and parsley.
• Fold each dough rectangle lengthwise into thirds; cut crosswise into 4 squares.
• Place, seam sides down, on baking sheet; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
• Bake 13 to 15 min. or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Mix 1 1/4 cups of the flour, the sugar, cheese, salt, pepper and yeast in large bowl. Beat in water, egg whites and oil until smooth. Stir in remaining flour until smooth. Scrape batter from side of bowl.
• Cover and let rise in warm place about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
• Spray 12 medium muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray. Stir down batter, beating about 25 strokes.
• Divide batter among muffin cups. Let rise uncovered 20-30 minutes or until batter rounds over tops of cups.
• Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or till golden brown.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the bottom position of the oven, put a baking stone or a baking sheet on it and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line another baking sheet with parchment.
• Toss and squeeze together the mozzarella, salami, pepperoni, Parmesan, 4 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs, 1 of the eggs, banana peppers, oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Dust a work surface with flour, and unfold the puff pastry sheet onto it. Roll it out into a 9-by-15-inch rectangle. Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs lengthwise down the center of the pastry. Pile and pack the cheese mixture into a log on top of the breadcrumbs, leaving a 1-inch border on the 2 short ends and about a 3-inch border on the 2 long sides. Fold the 1-inch borders to overlap the filling. Use kitchen shears to snip inch-wide strips of dough along both long sides that stop 1/2 inch from the filling, like a kind of fringe.
• Brush the pastry all over with some of the remaining beaten egg. Starting at 1 short end, alternate folding the strips, on a slight diagonal, over the filling to make a design that looks vaguely like a braid. The filling should be mostly covered, but some will peek out from the spaces between the strips. Holding both ends of the roll, bend it into a U shape. Brush the top and sides with more egg. Sprinkle oregano, red pepper flakes and Parmesan all over the top.
• Put the baking sheet with the pizza roll on top of the preheated baking sheet, and bake until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the pizza sauce. Use a serrated knife to slice the roll into pieces. Serve the pizza sauce on the side for dunking.

Steps:

• Place the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix until creamy. Add the Parmesan, flour, salt, thyme and pepper and combine.
• Dump the dough on a lightly floured board and roll into a 13-inch long log. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 30 minutes to harden.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the log crosswise into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices. Place the slices on a sheet pan and bake for 22 minutes.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl combine the warm water, yeast, sugar, and salt and leave to stand until the yeast starts to bubble on the top.
• Add the olive and sunflower oil, as well as three cups of flower to the yeast mixture.
• Combine well, approximately 10 minutes, this is best done with a stand up mixer, but can be done by hand also.
• Add the remaining 3 cups of flour, the parmesan cheese and chopped olives and using the dough hooks of your mixer, knead until all the flour is mixed up well.
• Continue to knead the dough until it is smooth and it no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl, you might need to add a little more flour at a time until it's no longer sticky.
• Place the dough into an oiled bowl and cover with a clean tea towel.
• Place in a warm place and allow to rise until doubled in size, usually about one hour.
• Punch dough down, cover and allow to rise for a second time, again until roughly doubled in size.
• Divide the dough into six equal portions and shape into logs, roughly 3x5 inches.
• Place on a baking sheet, cover and allow to rise for a final time, approx 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C/Gas 5.
• Brush the tops with olive oil, top with olives, peppers and onions (if you're using them) and top with parmesan cheese.
• Bake for approx 15 minutes until done.
• You can freeze the some of the dough after it has risen for the second time.
• After defrosting, form logs, allow to rise for approx one hour and continue as described above.

Steps:

• Cut bread dough into 16 pieces; shape into balls. Place on a floured surface; cover and let rise in a warm place for 10 minutes. In a bowl, stir Parmesan cheese and garlic powder into butter. Using a spoon, roll balls in butter mixture; arrange loosely in a 9-in. round baking pan. , Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled. Bake at 375° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Warm leftover butter mixture; when rolls are baked, pull them apart and dip them again. Serve warm.
