The Pepperoni Roll

Pepperoni rolls are a statewide treasure of the Mountain State. Different bakeries within the state claim credit. The 1920s seems to be the approximate appearance of these specialty rolls. An idea that developed deep in Marion county, West Virginia. These delectable treats have been coming out of West Virginia for more than 80 years.
This is my favorite! It all began when coal miners, on their way to work each day, would buy a stick of pepperoni and a loaf of bread to take into the mine. Then one day a baker came upon an idea; he decided to start slicing the pepperoni into smaller sticks and cook them within the bread. He did that for many of the local miners to take in their lunch buckets. Not only was it tasty but it also had the perfect packaging. Easy To Eat! A must when your eating lunch beneath the earth among dusty coal!
My recipe is very simple:
I use Pillsbury Pop-and - Fresh Dough, Pepperoni Slices, Cheese, Mozzarella or Provolone.
Roll out the dough, line with pepperoni and cheese, roll up. Put on cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, until lightly brown.
Sauce, mushrooms, peppers, onions can all be added to spice them up!
