"These appetizers are very quick and easy. The recipe came from Taste of Home. My kids like this because they say it tastes like pizza, in a bite size piece."

This is not a true West Virginia Pepperoni Roll at all! A true Pepperoni Roll uses bread dough, pepperoni, any kind of cheese you like (preferably cheddar or sharp cheddar) and no garlic power or spices. We make our own sauce, which is used sparingly, IF at all. Sorry to disappoint the readers though. Frozen bread dough can be used though. Be sure to use melted butter to brush on top, to keep them moist, soft and yummy, too. -
Pepperoni rolls are delicious! But they’re a northern WV delicacy, probably from the Italian immigrants who settled there. Being from southern West Virginia, I’d have to say the favorite dish is brown beans (cooked with pork or bacon) and cornbread. Chopped onions on top or even ramps! A hearty, inexpensive but wonderful meal! Pass the ketchup, please! -
I visited West Virginia and had several Pepperoni Rolls. I was excited to see the recipe, followed by disappointment. Pepperoni Rolls from West Virginia are to die for. So Yummy, and obviously made with bread dough. It's a shame they didn't pick an authentic West Virginia recipe for West Virginia's choice.

Soooo yummy! I used reduced fat crescents and did not have string cheese so used about 2 oz Monterey jack (it was what I did have) cut into 1/4 oz cubes. Awesome way to use up some pepperoni and cheese! Thanks for sharing! -
These little bites were delicious and quite a hit at the party! Since I was making them for an appetizer, I cut each of the 8 triangles in half lengthwise, making 16 appetizer bites instead of 8. I also cut the cheese into 16 pieces. The only ingredient change I made was to brush the largest half of each triangule with pizza sauce before adding the cheese and pepperoni and rollin up thedough, and served the pizza bites with a bowl of the remaining pizza sauce for dipping. I will be making again and again. Thanks for a very tasty recipe!

To make true WV Pepperoni rolls easy, buy frozen bread dough. Thaw it and divide one loaf into about a dozen pieces (to get it equal: flatten, cut in half, cut each piece in half, keep doing until you have 12 pieces of equal size dough.) You can either use slices(about 7 or 8 slices) or buy a whole stick and cut into 3 inch pieces, then quarter. Form each piece of dough around each stick and pinch to seal -pinch well so they don't come apart. If you are using the slices, keep them together fanned out like they are when they are in a flat package and still form dough around it and again, pinch well. Let rise again in warm place, spray rolls with Pam (butter) spray or generic brand, cover with plastic or wax paper. After double in size, Bake at 350 for 20 - 25 minutes (watch for golden brown.) If you like mozzarella cheese and/or pizza sauce add it after they are baked. Slice down the top like a hot dog bun and put in pizza sauce (tablespoon or so) and shredded or chunk of mozzarella and heat either in oven (foil wrapped for 10 mins 350) or cover with paper towel and heat for 25 SECONDS. (increase in 5 sec increments if not warm enough or until cheese melts.) You can also use a bread machine roll recipe and make dough and make the same way. These are the TRUE Pepperoni Rolls enjoyed in West Virginia (lived their 12 years, and my mothers family is from there.)

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
