PEPPERONI PIZZA TWIST

I first tasted this Pepperoni Pizza Twist back in college at one of those Pampered Chef parties and had to get the recipe. It’s simple but has great flavor that makes your taste buds sing.

I always stuff more pepperoni than is called for because my family likes it that way. It’s hearty enough to be dinner but the way we roll it’s usually an appetizer!

My husband informed me that I braided this wrong and he’s right! Although it doesn’t really matter but the ends should go under the other ends.

HOW TO MAKE A PEPPERONI PIZZA TWIST

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine pepperoni, olives, parsley, mozzarella cheese, flour, and garlic. 
2. Place bread dough seam sides up, cut lengthwise, open up and sprinkle with a little flour to keep from sticking.

   

3. Roll and create a well to put in filling. Spoon mixture in well.

   

4. Gather up edges and seal. Braid the dough leaving the opening in the center of the twist.

   

5. Brush egg white and seasonings on twist.

Look at all of those fillings inside! Sooo good!
