The dough we use for this recipe is actually the same as the crust we use in our [[pizza|Pizza]] recipe, which makes sense since it's just a rolled up pizza.

===Ingredients===
==Dough==
  *1 TBS rapid rise yeast
  *1 tsp white sugar
  *1 cup warm water (120-130°F)
  *2½ cups bread (or all purpose flour)
  *2 TBS olive oil
  *1 tsp salt
  *//Optional// 1 TBS Italian herb blend

==Fillings==
  * 1/3 cup smooth red sauce + desired quantity for dipping.
  * 8oz Shredded Mozzarella
  * 5oz sliced Pepperoni

===Method===
  -Add all dry dough ingredients to a large bowl, combine olive oil to warm water then pour over dry ingredients.
  -Use wooden spoon to combine and stir until a shaggy dough forms, turn out onto counter and knead until you get a smooth dough (2-4 minutes)
  -Set dough back in the bowl and let rest for 10 minutes
  -Thoroughly grease a 9x13 baking dish and preheat oven to 400°F.
  -After resting, roll dough out on floured surface into a ~14"x20" rectangle.
  -Spread your pasta sauce in a thin layer fully covering one side of the dough.
  -Evenly spread shredded cheese over sauce, then top with evenly spaced pepperoni slices. 
  -Starting on the long side of your dough, tightly roll the dough into a neat log, and pinch the seam to loosely seal.
  -Slice the rolled dough into 16 equal rounds and place evenly in greased baking dish.
  -Let pan of rolls raise for 15 to 45 minutes, then bake ~20 minutes until tops are golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
  -Let rolls cool, then serve with sauce for dipping.
