Recipe

• 1 you can use homemade bread dough or frozen bread dough that's been thawed. roll out bread dough to make a rectangle: roughly 18-20" x 10-12" - dough should be thin.
• 2 melt butter and spread on dough.
• 3 sprinkle garlic and onion powder, italian seasoning and parmesan cheese over entire surface in the given order.
• 4 either spread the bbq sauce over the entire dough or spread it down the middle, whatever your preference.
• 5 lay the pepperoni the width (long side) of the dough in 2-3 rows.
• 6 place shredded mozzarella cheese on top of those layers (be careful not to do it too thick or it will 'run out' while baking).
• 7 roll up like you would for cinnamon rolls, sealing edges.
• 8 place seam side down on a cookie sheet lined w/parchment paper.
• 9 let dough rise 45 minutes before baking.
• 10 cut small slits in the top to vent.
• 11 you may also brush top with butter and sprinkle with parmesan cheese if so desired.
• 12 bake at 350°f for 25 minutes. time depends on your oven. if taken out too soon, it will be doughy in the middle-outside should be a dark (not burned) golden brown color.
