    Rolls: Hogan's Heroic Pepperoni Rolls


    Source of Recipe


    Robert Horgan
    Get several cans of Grands buttermilk biscuits. There are eight biscuits per can.

    Get your choice of shredded cheese. Today I used a mix of Colby and Monterey Jack.

    For a sauce, I use pizza sauce as the main ingredient and usually mix in a little salsa and Tabasco green pepper sauce to give it a little more zip. Do whatever suits your taste.

    Roll each individual biscuit out flat.

    Put a tablespoon or so of sauce in the middle.

    Plop a little cheese on top of the sauce. (This keeps the sauce from running everywhere while you're folding up the biscuit later.)

    Put several slices and/or chunks of pepperoni on top of that, then a little more cheese.

    Fold the biscuit around the pepperoni and seal all the edges as best you can. This keeps the sauce from running all over while baking. I usually brush the top of the unbaked roll with a little milk. I think that helps make it turn out a nice brown color. You can also sprinkle a little parmesan grated cheese on top if you like.

    Bake in the oven for the time and temperature indicated on the can of biscuits. I think it's usually about 350-375 for 12-15 minutes. I usually try to check on them after 12 minutes and decide whether they're done based on how brown the biscuit looks.

    Tips and Deep Thoughts:

    I find that if I have my ingredients set up before I start, I can usually put together about six rolls while one batch is in the oven, so I usually bake six at a time using two cookie sheets. When one batch comes out, another goes in, and the assembly line goes on. After a turn or two, you'll get an idea as to what proportions of ingredients to use.
    Two general rules of thumb you'll find are to avoid using too much sauce and to use as much pepperoni as you can while still easily sealing up the biscuit. The worst things that can happen is that you'll overstuff and/or overbake and the ingredients will pop out the side, or you'll underbake and the dough will stay a little sticky inside. The first problem is hard to fix after the fact; the second isn't. If I can make them, anyone can.
