Instruction

  • Preheat oven at step 8 to 375°F.
  • In a bowl, whisk together mayo, oil, salt, warm water and warm milk. Sprinkle yeast over top of mixture and sprinkle sugar over yeast, let sit 5 minutes to activate.
  • Gradually add flour, mix until flour is well incorporated and combined. Cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Set dough aside to rise 1 ½ to 2 hours until the dough doubles, almost triples in size.
  • Divide dough into two. Take one half and divide into two again. Then take that half and cut into 6 pieces if shaping into round dinner rolls. If shaping into larger rolls, divide into 5 pieces.
  • Roll out each piece of dough. Add cheese, some pasta sauce and pepperoni. Close up dough and turn over. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Combine butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic. Brush the tops of rolls with the butter mixture using a pastry brush.
  • Set aside and let rise 30 – 45 minutes, until about doubled in size.
  • Bake 18-22 minutes until tops of rolls are really golden brown.
  • Enjoy.
