These are heaven in a bun...
Hi Bold Bakers!
You know by now that I love cinnamon rolls, with the lovely cinnamon filling and the glaze
on top, but have you ever thought about making a savory cinnamon roll?
I know it sounds kind of crazy, but right now I’m going to show you how you can make
a pepperoni pizza roll, and they're absolutely delicious, so let’s get baking.
So before we get started a lot of you know that I’ve partnered with NatureBox, because
I love their products.
They make unique flavored snacks that are good for you and they taste great.
And they’re also free from artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners, which is what I love
about them.
Some of my favorite snacks are the whole-wheat raspberry figgy bars, they are absolutely
delicious and I take them hiking with me, they’re individually wrapped so they’re
really handy.
Then we have spicy pub nuts, I really like these because they got a little bit of spice
and I love toasted nuts.
And then I have to throw in there crunchy bbq twists, I really like these guys and I
take them with me generally in the car for long car rides or even when I’m in the airport,
I find them really handy.
Mm, and they taste so good.
So here’s the good news.
NatureBox have offered my Bold Bakers 50% off their first order.
They deliver snacks straight to your door, and if you don’t like one of your snacks,
they will send you another one for free.
All of this information can be found in the description box below this video, and unfortunately
for right now this offer is only available to the United States and Canada.
Okay, now that’s that, let’s get started on our dough.
So to start out making our bread dough, I’m gonna use my stand mixer, if you want to do
it by hand, that’s totally fine, you’re just gonna need a lot of elbow grease.
Into my stand mixer I’m gonna add in my flour, then next I’m going to add in my
dried yeast, now you can use any kind of dried yeast that you have, and then I’m also gonna
add in some salt, you have to have salt in bread baking to bring out all of those lovely
flavors.
Then I’m just gonna go in with my spatula and stir these all together.
Okay, lovely.
Now for our wet ingredients.
Here I have a jug of milk, now what I’m going to do is add in some cubed butter into
this.
And then I’m going to pop him into the microwave and heat him until the butter melts and the
milk is roughly blood temperature.
[Ding!]
Okay so my butter is melted and my milk is a little bit warm, so this is the perfect
temperature to go into our dough.
So all I'm going to do is turn on my machine, to a low speed, then pour in my liquid.
So I get this question all the time and it’s a really good one, people tell me that maybe
their dough is too wet or too dry, so the thing about it is everyone’s dough is going
to be different because everyone uses different flour, different moisture, all sorts of stuff
like that.
So here’s the deal, don’t add in all the liquid that I say, add in the majority of
it, and then add it in, bit by bit.
So there you go, I just proved my own point, the dough is coming together, it’s wiping
the bottom of the bowl clean, but I have a tiny bit of milk left.
So just easy does it.
So now I’m gonna turn the machine back onto medium speed, and I'm gonna let this knead
the dough for roughly 6-8 minutes.
So as always, you know the recipe for this can be found on BiggerBolderBaking.com along
with all of my other recipes.
Okay, great, so it has been roughly 7 minutes, my dough is done, I can also tell when my
dough is done because if you grab the dough, it comes out in one ball, and as you can see
you’ve got a clean bowl.
Clean bowl means a good dough.
So now what I'm gonna do is take some flavorless oil, or olive oil, and then just spread it
in the bowl and then just move your dough around so it gets coated in the olive oil,
perfect.
So here I have some cling wrap, and I'm just gonna go ahead and lay that over the top of
my dough, and then imp gonna put over a nice clean tea towel.
Now the reason that I do this is because yeast is a living thing, it likes to be warm and
happy and fuzzy so it can grow and be beautiful.
So you want to keep it nice and snug in there.
Now imp gonna set this aside at room temperature for roughly an hour and a half to two hours,
or until it doubles in size.
Okay so it’s nice and warm in my kitchen here in Los Angeles, it’s been two hours,
and just look at how big my dough has gotten.
How beautiful is that?
This is why.
I love bread making, it’s a slow process, you have to be patient, but.
It’s worth it all in the end.
So you can see it’s nice and bubbly, this is looking great, so now imp just gonna turn
him out onto my floured surface, lovely, then imp going to take my rolling pin and.
roll him roughly to around 24” by 12”.
If you feel like your dough is sticking at all, take a little bit more flour, turn him
over, and then just toss it on your surface.
Don’t be afraid about using too much flour.
Lovely.
This is gonna make a big pepperoni pizza roll.
If you feel like your dough is pulling back a little bit, let it rest, walk away for 10-15
minutes, then come back and roll it out again.
This is looking fantastic.
Okay, now for the first layer, this is my secret ingredient.
I have some pureed garlic here, and I like to spread that all over the surface, because
I love really garlicky things.
So you’re gonna go everywhere.
It’s up to you, you don’t like garlic so much, you can leave it out.
I’m gonna put on loads.
Whether Kevin likes it or not.
Okay.
So now the next layer is our sauce.
You can use homemade or store-bought.
I do have a recipe on BiggerBolderBaking.com, it’s really easy, you make it all up in
a blender, in 5 minutes.
Simple.
So I have that, and imp just gonna smear this all over the surface of my dough.
Now a rule of thumb here, when doing something like this, leave a gap around an inch around
the perimeter, you.
Don’t want to bring your sauce all the way to the edge.
Just bring it roughly to the edge.
So now the next layer is one of my favorites, it’s mozzarella cheese.
So I have some shredded mozzarella here, and imp just going to very generously scatter
it all over the top.
I love cheese.
Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy.
I love to add some dried herbs onto the top of mine, you can also add fresh basil, whatever
you like.
Scatter a few on top of there, I find that this is the quintessential pizza shop tasting
pizza, that’s why I like to add them on top.
Now because these are pepperoni rolls, I have here some chopped up pepperoni, and imp
just gonna scatter that all over the top too.
Now if you don’t like pepperoni, leave it out, you can add in a different vegetable,
whatever you like on your pizza, maybe even like pineapple and ham, that’d be lovely.
Okay lovely, so this is looking pretty good, it’s a behemoth of a pizza roll, so now
all imp going to do is taking the long end, imp going to very carefully, roll up my dough.
Just go all along, just doing the exact same, like a cinnamon roll.
Go ahead and roll him up.
Perfect, and make sure he’s nice and tight.
Gorgeous.
Now take your time doing this, you can go slow.
Okay, and there is our giant pepperoni sausage.
So now we’re gonna cut it up into pieces, and what we’re going to do is cut these
pieces to roughly around 2.5-3”.
I did 3” because I like them nice and big.
So just go ahead and carefully carve up your pieces.
Now this recipe will make around 9 pepperoni pizza rolls, you wanna make more, cut them
a little bit smaller.
Look at that, you see when you turn them over they look like real pizzas.
Okie dokie, now imp gonna take these guys and imp gonna lay them onto my tray lined
with parchment paper.
And imp gonna leave a little of space in between all of them, a few inches, because once they
proof, they’re gonna spread out.
So you want to make sure they don’t stick together.
Now, our next step is that these guys need to proof again, they need to rise up, they
need to grow up a little bit, so imp gonna lay over some cling wrap over the pizza rolls,
now we’re gonna leave these guys at room temperature to rise for roughly around 45
minutes to an hour, and then they’re ready to be baked off.
Okay so it’s been 45 minutes, and look at those little rolls, you can tell they’ve
kind puffed up a little bit, they’ve gotten bigger, this is the perfect stage we want
them at.
now imp simply just gonna brush the rolls with a little bit of egg wash, to make them
golden brown, and then pop them into the oven.
Bake your rolls off at 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius for roughly 35-40 minutes
or until golden brown.
Check it out!
Our pizza rolls are out of the oven and they look insane.
Do you see how big they got, they’re all standing by themselves, they’re like their
own individual pizza.
You can see they’re lovely golden brown on top, the cheese is all melted, now if you
guys could smell my kitchen right now, you’d be as excited as I am.
now all the work that went into these pizza rolls is on the inside, so imp gonna carve
open one to show you what it looks like.
Look at that, tomato sauce, the melty cheese, I can smell the garlic, oh my gosh.
These are heaven in a bun.
This is a really fun recipe for a party, or even a sleepover.
And you can even take it with you in your lunchbox to school.
You see, sometimes I taste some of the recipes and I know straightaway, imp in trouble, because
this is absolutely delicious.
It’s got my name written all over it.
I mean, tomato sauce, cheese, carbs, oh, what could be wrong about this?
Mm, yummy.
