Pepperoni Swirls Recipes

Steps:

• Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon sugar in 1 cup of warm water in a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast over the water and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Mix flour, 3/4 cup sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the yeast mixture, beaten eggs, and melted butter. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
• Lightly oil a large bowl, then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
• Punch down the dough, and divide it into 20 equal pieces about the size of a golf ball. Using your hands, flatten each piece into a small rectangle about 4 inches square. Place 3 slices of pepperoni down the center of each dough square, overlapping the slices. Place another row of 3 slices next to the first. Roll the dough around the pepperoni slices, pinch the edges closed, and place the rolls on the prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly browned and the tops are barely golden.

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 10 x 15 inch rectangle. Set aside. In a medium size bowl, mix together cream cheese and Parmesan. Add Bridgford Pepperoni, olives, onion and garlic. Mix well. Spread evenly over dough. Roll up dough tightly in jelly-roll fashion. Seal seams and edges. Cut roll into 30, 1/2 inch slices. Place slices swirl-side up on greased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and pan to cool on wire rack.

Steps:

• Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Divide the loaf in half. Roll each half into a 6x12-inch rectangle. Layer half of the pepperoni on each rectangle, lengthwise, leaving one inch along one long side bare. Brush the bare inch of dough with water. Evenly distribute the peppers and green onions over the pepperoni. Starting with the long edge opposite the bare edge, tightly roll up both rectangles and pinch edges to seal. Place both on a large sprayed baking sheet. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and let rise 30 minutes. Remove wrap and bake at 350°F 20-25 minutes. Cool and then slice. Serve with sliced tomatoes and olives if desired.
