Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • water
  • sugar
  • yeast
  • all-purpose flour
  • olive oil
  • salt
Let water, a little sugar and the yeast get foamy in the bowl; add the all-purpose flour, olive oil and salt.
Knead in the mixer three to five minutes once it comes together, until smooth and elastic; it may stick to the bottom but should clear the sides.
Scrape down the bowl, cover, and let double in size, about an hour or a little less.
  • flour
On a floured surface roll into a roughly seven by fifteen inch rectangle.
Rolling a 7 by 15 rectangle
  • ½ cup marinara sauce
  • pepperoni
  • basil leaves
  • low moisture mozzarella, shredded
  • Parmesan
Spread about half a cup of marinara modestly, then pepperoni (cook any vegetables first), basil leaves, shredded low-moisture mozzarella and a little Parmesan.
Filling: sauce, pepperoni, basil, cheese
Roll up from the long end into a long, skinny tube, tucking the dough over the filling.
Cut into 12 equal slices and place cut side down in a greased non-stick 12-cup muffin tin or paper liners.
Cover very lightly with plastic wrap and let them puff until they fill the cups and rise a little above the edge.
Top with a little extra sauce and cheese.
Bake in a 375 degree oven about 20 minutes until puffed, golden and set in the center.
