Pepperoni Rolls

Bread recipe:
2 Cups lukewarm Water (100 degrees)
1/2 Cup Sugar
2 TB Yeast (if doubling recipe, double all other measures but only use 3T yeast)
1/4 Cup Oil
2 t Salt
1 Egg
3 Cups Flour

Add 4 more cups flour while kneading

• Start the yeast in 1 C water and a little bit of the sugar.
• Once it's growing, add 1 C warm water and 3 C flour into mixer
• Mix till combined and let sit/grow for 15 min
• Meanwhile, mix eggs, oil, sugar, and salt in one bowl and have 4 C flour in another
  
• After 15 min, alternate egg mixture and flour while mixing on low until dough is sticky
  (Heather's note: For the first 3 C of flour added to the yeast, I use white flour. Then, at this step, I add 1-2 C whole wheat flour, and then 1-2 C more white flour. Maybe with your white wheat you could use more whole wheat.
  Also, the last time I made these, I only added 3 1/2 C flour for this step and ended up having to add a little more water, so watch as you go)
• Knead in mixer for about 5 min
• Press down, and let rise in a lightly oiled bowl until doubled (1/2 to 1 hour)

At this point, you can make bread out of the dough. Here are the instructions for the pepperoni rolls

• Pull off a handball sized ball of dough (about half way between golf ball and tennis ball size...)
• Roll out in 1/4 inch-ish thick circle
• Place 5 pepperoni slices and about 1/4 C mozzerella cheese in the center
• Fold in sides
• Fold down top and roll up, keeping pepperoni and cheese on the inside
• Squeeze roll in your hands to release air bubbles and seal the seams
• Place seam side down on greased cookie sheet
• Let rise a little (not quite doubled again, but you can tell the dough is rising a bit- place on the oven door with the oven on warm if they're not rising)
• Bake at 350 for 15-18 min until lightly browned
• Eat fresh and hot and gooey, or refrigerate or freeze leftovers. Reheat in microwave 15-45 seconds
  

You could add lunch meat and chedder or any other combination. Mom likes to cut open refrigerated ones and put sliced bell pepper and onion inside and eat it like a sub sandwich.

Tortellini Salad

I had something like this at a ward potluck and recreated it at home

Romaine lettuce
Pepperoni or pepperocini
Black olives
Fresh mozzarella (chopped up or made in little balls)
cooked cheese tortellini
chopped red bell pepper
cherry tomatoes

Really good italian dressing

Toss it all and eat. I liked that the tortellinis were still warm.
