These were a special treat growing up.
My sister learned to make them at a bread making class.
To assemble, they are just like making cinnamon rolls, but with a savory filling.
FIRST: Make one Batch of Homemade sandwich bread dough (enough for 6 loaves). (I use my whole wheat recipe, but use 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 white wheat. You can also use all white if you'd prefer).
Pizza Roll Filling
In a food processor, chop the following:
2 5oz pkgs. turkey pepperoni
1 small yellow onion
1 can 2-4 oz black olives (depending on preference)
1 large green pepper

1. Cut bread dough into approximately 4 equal balls. Roll out 1 of the 4 balls into a rectangle. Spread with a few tablespoons of cream cheese. Then spread 1/4th of the pizza roll filling and then sprinkle with shredded cheddar/mozzerella cheese. Roll up just like a cinnamon roll and cut into slices about 1.5" thick. Place rolls onto a cooking sheet (I fit 12-15 rolls on 1 11x17 pan).
2. Let Rise until double.
3. Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes until tops are golden brown.
4. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite marinara sauce.
**These are great to take in a school lunch! They also freeze well.
