Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of Italian seasoning to the cheese or using a mix of cheeses like mozzarella and provolone. If you're looking for a lighter option, consider using turkey pepperoni. Ensure the dough is sealed well to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking. For a fun twist, serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
Serving Suggestions
These Pepperoni Roll Ups make a perfect appetizer or snack and pair beautifully with Grandma Hoover'S Brown Bread. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or some crunchy vegetables for a complete meal. For a fun twist, consider serving them with various dipping sauces like ranch or garlic butter.
Storage & Reheating
