Pepperoni Rolls

There's a story behind my inspiration. There always is, right? Well, this one involves two of my best friends from high school; one lives in Ohio and the other lives locally. I wasn't part of the online conversation until I was tagged in the post. "Have Camilla make you some!" Make what?!? 

So I went back and read the entire stream before replying, "Annnddd...whatdya know? I have a stuffed bread event I need to post for in November. You decided my recipe! I was going to make bierocks, but I'll give pepperoni rolls a try. I'll call you, Jenn, when they are ready for pickup. ;)" And that was it.

I didn't really know anything else about these. So, I whipped up my favorite all-purpose roll dough and bought some pepperoni. Easy! This is my go-to for everything from dinner rolls to the actual rolls, Danish Fastelavnsboller. It's quick to make and such a great texture. I do skip the milk and the cardamom for regular uses.

Ingredients makes 8 rolls

Dough
  • 13 grams active dry yeast 
  • 250 ml water, warmed to steaming but not boiling
  • 100 grams butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 40 grams organic granulated sugar
  • 450 grams flour + more for kneading
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt 
  • 1 egg

Assembly
  • pepperoni
  • grated cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten
Procedure

Dough
Pour warm water into a large mixing bowl, stir in sugar, and sprinkle yeast over the top. Let bloom for 10 to 15 minutes. It should be foamy and frothy. Add in the butter and egg. Whisk to combine.

Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Knead until a scraggy dough forms. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 30 to 40 minutes. It should be doubled in size.

Assembly
Dust a workspace with flour and turn out the dough. Knead the dough, dusting to prevent sticking if needed. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to a rectangle, approximately 12" x 16". Cut the dough into right rectangles.


Sprinkle each rectangle with cheese and arrange a layer of pepperoni on the cheese.


Carefully roll the dough into a cylinder, enclosing the pepperoni on the inside.


Pinch the ends closed and tuck them underneath. Place the rolls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them rise for 30 minutes.


While the dough rises, preheat the oven to 395 degrees Fahrenheit. 


Brush the tops of the rolls with beaten egg and place the tray in the oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

 

The rolls should be nicely browned. Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes before serving.


I'm not sure this will be a family favorite, but they did enjoy them...and were tickled that Uncle Mumfie could inspire me from all the way across the country.

That's a wrap for the November #BreadBakers event. We'll be back next month with tear-and-share holiday breads with Felice of All That's Left Are the Crumbs hosting. Stay tuned...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce

Aloo Tiki {Pakistan}

To start off our Pakistani culinary adventure, I started us off with aloo tiki - potato cutlets. I'm always game for tasty street food. I found a couple of different recipes and incorporated those together for this version. Ingredients 6-8 small red potatoes, scrubbed 1 T cumin seeds 1 T fresh chopped parsley 1/2 t ground coriander 1 t minced garlic Procedure Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Drain and let cool. Mash the potatoes. Traditionally they are mashed without their skins. I left the skins on. In a small pan, toast the cumin seeds on high heat until the begin to give off an aroma and begin to darken. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to keep them from cooking any more. Blend all of the spices into the mashed potatoes, then shape into small patties. If you wet your hands, the potato mixture won't stick to them. Heat a splash of oil in a large, flat-bottom pan. Dip each patty into beaten egg and carefully place in the oil. P
