PEPPERONI ROLLS



Pepperoni Rolls image

Found throughout West Virginia, the pepperoni roll was born in the early 20th century in the north-central part of the state as a convenient lunch for Italian coal miners. Giuseppe Argiro is credited with first selling the rolls commercially, sometime between 1927 and 1938, and his Country Club Bakery, in Fairmont, W.Va., still uses his recipe, the standard by which all other rolls in the state are judged. The recipe remains a secret, but this version - from the chef Travis Milton and featured in Ronni Lundy's cookbook, "Victuals" (Clarkson Potter, 2016) - is a close approximation. Look for a hunk of pepperoni to slice into sticks, as it gives the roll more chew. Many West Virginians add cheese to their versions, so feel free to experiment once you're comfortable with the recipe.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup/240 milliliters warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (from 1 individual packet)
1 teaspoon maple syrup, sorghum syrup or honey
2 3/4 cups/350 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon olive oil, plus more as needed
Nonstick cooking spray
1 (8-ounce/225-gram) pepperoni stick or 6 ounces pepperoni slices
1/4 cup/55 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick), melted

Steps:

  • Add the warm water to a measuring cup. Stir in the yeast and syrup, then let stand for 5 minutes.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, add the flour, salt, 1 teaspoon oil and yeast mixture. Pulse several times on low to combine, then knead on low until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 5 minutes. The dough will be sticky.
  • Grease a large bowl with cooking spray or olive oil. Use floured hands to remove the dough from the mixing bowl and transfer it to the greased bowl. Cover the bowl using a damp towel, and let the dough sit in a warm place for 45 minutes to rise.
  • As dough rises, prepare the stick pepperoni (if using): Cut the pepperoni into 2 (5-inch) lengths. Cut each piece lengthwise into 3 slabs, then cut each of those slabs lengthwise into 3 even batons, forming a total of 18 pieces, each 5 inches long and about 1/3-inch wide.
  • Lightly spray or oil a baking sheet. When the dough is ready, use floured hands to remove the dough from the bowl and transfer it to a floured surface. Cut it into 6 equal portions, about 4 ounces each, and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. Spray or lightly oil the top of each ball of dough and cover the baking sheet lightly with plastic wrap. Let sit for 20 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Uncover the dough. Using floured hands, remove a dough ball and place it on a floured work surface. Either roll or stretch the dough into a 6-by-8-inch rectangle. (Be careful not to make the dough too thin, or it will be hard to roll up the pepperoni.)
  • Set a 6-inch edge of the rectangle facing you. Starting about 1 1/2 inches from the short edge closest to you, place 3 pepperoni sticks crosswise on the dough, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between each stick.
  • Take the dough edge closest to you, fold it over the first pepperoni stick, adhering the top layer of dough to the bottom layer of dough, and then proceed to make 2 more folds away from you to enrobe the remaining 2 pepperoni sticks. If using slices, imagine separating your dough into thirds by creating 2 crosswise rows of pepperoni, each overlapped like a spread of cards, 6 pepperoni slices wide. Fold the dough closest to you over the first row of pepperoni slices, then fold up the dough to cover the second row of pepperoni slices, so the pepperoni and dough form alternating layers.
  • Return the roll to the baking sheet, setting it seam-side down. (Resist the urge to tuck in or fold over the shorter ends.) Repeat this process with the remaining dough balls and pepperoni sticks or slices.
  • Brush the rolls with the melted butter and bake until golden brown and cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with any remaining butter. Let cool completely before serving.

Categories     Meat

Time 2h15m

Yield 12 pepperoni rolls, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups of lukewarm water
1/4 cup sugar
1 (1/4 ounce) package yeast
1 teaspoon salt
4 1/4 cups flour
2 cups mozzarella cheese
4 ounces of thinly sliced pepperoni

Steps:

  • Dissolve sugar, yeast, salt in the warm water.
  • Stir in the flour, using extra flour or water as needed to make a soft dough that isn't too sticky.
  • Turn out onto a floured board and knead for a couple of minutes. Shape into a ball and let raise in a bowl for 30 minutes to an hour, covered with a towel. Volume should double.
  • Turn the raised dough back onto the floured board, and cut it into 12 pieces (I use a scraper/cutter, but a knife works fine.).
  • Take each piece, flatten it lightly on the board with your hand, and place 4-5 slices of pepperoni in the middle, overlapping but not stacked.
  • Add cheese.
  • Roll it up like a jelly roll, and then crimp it with your fingers to seal the ends into an oval, with no pepperoni sticking out. Place on an ungreased baking sheet with at least an inch between each one.
  • Beat in an egg and add a tablespoonful of water. Brush rolls lightly with this glaze. You don't need to let the rolls raise further, but you can if you want to.
  • Bake rolls at 425 degrees until golden brown.

PEPPERONI ROLLS



Pepperoni Rolls image

Meet West Virginia's unofficial state snack. These pepperoni and cheese-stuffed pockets can be found in convenience stores across the Mountain State. And instead of sliced pepperoni (like in Italian versions found elsewhere) these soft rolls have a large chunk in the center (a bonus for serious pepperoni lovers!).

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 4h30m

Yield 8 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons sugar
One 1/4-ounce package active dry yeast
Kosher salt
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
1 large egg
One 6-ounce stick pepperoni, cut crosswise onto 4 even logs and each split in half lengthwise
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups shredded whole-milk mozzarella

Steps:

  • Gently heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan until the butter is melted. The milk should be just a little hotter than warm, between 100 and 115 degrees F (but no warmer than 115 degrees F). Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the sugar, yeast and 2 teaspoons salt. Let the mixture sit until the yeast is activated and foam covers the top, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the flour, egg and yeast liquid to a large bowl. Make the dough by mixing the ingredients together with a rubber spatula. Make sure all ingredients are incorporated; the dough will be sticky and loose. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours. Remove the plastic and gently re-knead the dough in order to deflate it while still in the bowl. Form into a ball, as best you can, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Transfer the dough to a very generously floured surface, kneading to bring together. Cut the dough into 8 pieces, about 3 1/2 ounces each. Gently form each piece into a ball, incorporating more flour as needed so the dough is no longer sticky but still pliable. Use your hands to flatten each ball to a 4 1/2-inch circle. Brush a piece of pepperoni with oil and place in the center of the circle, along with 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella. Fold the dough over the pepperoni, like a burrito, and place on the prepared baking sheets seam-side down. (It's ok if the filling is not fully encased at this point.) Repeat with the remaining pepperoni and cheese, placing the bundles on the baking sheets at least 1 inch apart to allow for a third rise. Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap and place in a warm place for 30 minutes. The rolls will puff up just a bit.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining oil and bake until the crust is crispy and golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
