Pepperoni Pizza Bread (Kid Friendly)

This Pepperoni Pizza Bread comes together easily using frozen bread dough, Serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.

Good Morning my friends. I've been a little under the weather the last couple days, but I think I'm finally bouncing back. Now comes the time of playing  catch up on housework, chores and blog posts. Pizza is the one meal that everyone in my house loves.  A couple weeks back while browsing the Rhodes bread website, I cam across a recipe for pepperoni rolls. 

I didn't want to fuss with stuffing all the dinner rolls, so I simplified the recipe a bit and and used frozen bread dough instead. I omitted the pizza sauce before rolling up the dough and figured the kids could use it as a dipping sauce. My kids love this Pepperoni Pizza Bread and always ask me to make it. 

Let's get started on the step-by-step photos. Start by spraying the counter with non stick spray. Roll out the thawed bread dough into a rectangle (about 10 x 16). Brush dough with olive oil. Arrange pepperoni slices and mozzarella cheese over the dough. Roll up dough like a jelly roll and pinch the seam to seal; place, seam side down, on prepared baking sheet.

Brush the top with a bit more olive oil and sprinkle on Parmesan cheese. Let dough rest for about 45 minutes in a warm place.

Bake in preheated oven for 30 - 40 minutes, or until golden brown and the bread is cooked through. Let cool and slice with a bread knife.

Mackenzie and her friend wanted me to take a photo of them enjoying their pizza bread. From their smiles I think they loved it.

Serve with pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
