A cheesy, gooey way to get more pepperoni into your life.
5 C of flour, divided
3 T white sugar
1 .25 ounce package of dry yeast
2 t salt
1 1/2 C water
1/2 C milk
3 T butter
2 eggs
32 slices of provolone cheese
1 lb sliced pepperoni
Add 2 C of flour, sugar, yeast and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl
Combine water, milk and butter in a saucepan over low heat until warm
Gradually pour into the flour, either mixing it on low speed in the mixer, or mixing it by hand in a large bowl
Combine well, adding remaining flour until a soft dough forms
Either switch to a dough hook and knead until smooth – about 5 minutes or pour out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth – about 10 minutes
Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat
Let rise until doubled, about 1 hour
Punch dough down and turn onto a floured surface, cut in half returning one half to the bowl
Roll dough into a 12 – 16 rectangle
Arrange half of the provolone and pepperoni on the dough
Starting at the edge closest to you carefully roll dough up
Beat the eggs with a small amount of water and brush the seams, pinching to close
Place loaf seam side down on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
Repeat with the other half of the dough
Let loaves rest, covered with a kitchen towel for 30 minutes
Uncover loaves and brush all over with remaining egg wash
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes, turning once during the baking
Let cool for 15 minutes before slicing
