I found this simple yet yummy recipe not too long ago. It's perfect to serve up when you have friends over for the game, something to munch on when you watch TV or as snack when the kids come home from school. The best thing is, it's so easy and quick to make! Here's how you make it :D
You start off by rolling out a can of Pillsbury Crescent Creations onto your work area. You could also use the regular crescent dough, you just have to pinch all the seams together to make it into a single dough sheet.
Brush on some melted butter onto the dough sheet.
Sprinkle on some garlic salt, Italian seasoning and some shredded Mozzarella cheese.
Next, place some pepperoni slices on top of the cheese. You could replace the pepperoni slices with sausage, ham, chicken...pretty much anything that you like.
Carefully roll up the dough. Make sure you roll it up tight and there are not many air pockets. Also, make sure that you seal the ends of the roll. Then, set it aside.
Now, spray on some non stick cooking oil onto a baking sheet. Then, sprinkle on some corn meal. You do not need corn meal if you do not have it at hand. It just helps to further prevent the pepperoni ring from sticking to the baking sheet.
Take the roll from your work area and place it onto the baking sheet. Join the two ends together, forming it into a ring.
Then, brush on some melted butter. This will give it a nice golden brown color once it's baked.
Sprinkle on some Parmesan cheese and some shredded Mozzarella cheese.
Pop it in a 400F oven for about 20-30 minutes (baking time varies depending on oven) and it's done!
Mmm mmm mmmm, doesn't it look good? Check out the yummy Cheesy Pepperoni Ring, fresh out from the oven. Try it, I bet you will love this recipe!
We found some fresh whole wheat pizza dough on sale at our local grocery store not too long ago and we bought a few packs. Instead of making a pizza or calzone (which we always make), we decided to try something a little different. We made a stromboli instead! It turned out to be pretty yummy, so here is the recipe for it.
You start off by sprinkling some corn meal on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Then, press out the pizza dough evenly into a rectangular shape. Sprinkle on some garlic salt and Italian herbs.
Place a generous amount of shredded cheese (I used mozzarella) right down the middle of the dough.
Next, place some crumbled Italian Hot Sausage on top of the cheese. You can pretty much use any type of sausage that you like.
The next thing to go on are the caramelized onions. You can use fresh onions if you like but I find caramelized onions to be way tastier.
Then, arrange some pepperoni slices on top of the onions. The pile might look as though its getting really high, but don't worry about it. We need to pile it on high because it will all reduce when it's in the oven.
Lastly, sprinkle on more shredded cheese and some fresh basil leaves. Remember to tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces, it will just release the most amazing flavor when baking.
Brush on some eggwash all around the sides of the pizza dough and then you can roll it all up. After rolling, tuck the sides of the dough in well, so that the filling doesn't spill out when baking.
Make little cuts at the top of the stromboli to allow the steam to escape when baking.
Brush on more eggwash on the top (this is to help give it color - it will turn a nice golden brown when it's done) and it's ready to go into the oven.
Pop it into a 375F oven for about half an hour.
There you go! It's done! A nice looking yummy golden brown stromboli. Just allow it to cool down for a little, then you can either cut it into half or slice it into slices before serving. I sliced our stromboli and served it with a large side salad. Yuumyy yummy yum yum!
