Pepperoni Pizza Rolls (Copy Cat - Double Daves Pizzaworks)

Steak&Taters's Note:

These are like the famous "Pepperoni Rolls" made by Double Dave's Pizzaworks from College Station, TX, Home of Texas A&M University. I use to sit and watch the guys making them, while eating a bunch. Best served with Ranch dressing, or Pizza sauce. These Pepperoni Rolls don't need sauce inside to be really, really good. I used to be able to eat about 9 of these for dinner in college. I make them by the dozen, because my two kids eat a lot of them. Watch out - These are addicting!

These were much better than anticipated, although my 'rolling' abilities need some work! I was afraid they would be too doughy, but they were very tasty, with the pepperoni and cheese tucked nicely inside. I prefer a pizza sauce for dipping, so I used that, but DH enjoyed the ranch. I will probably make these again, and hope for a miracle, that I can make them look a little better! Thanks for sharing a great recipe, Steak&Taters!
