“Oh my gosh, they’re so good!”

Our local pizzeria, Bravissimo, makes these amazing pepperoni bites. Slices of savory pepperoni all wrapped up in yummy pizza dough, then baked until nice and puffy. When they come out of the oven, they’re slathered with basil pesto oil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

This recipe came about thanks to David Venable, host of the very popular, In The Kitchen with David show on QVC! I was on the show demonstrating how to make pizza dough with a KitchenAid Stand Mixer when David asked me to come up with a recipe for the Pepperoni rolls his pizza parlor makes.

I’m not sure what pizza parlor he frequents, but I know Bravissimo makes some mighty fine Pepperoni Bites. On one of my Friday night visits, I asked and they kindly explained how to go about making them!

So here you go David! My version of Bravissimo’s Pizzeria Style Pepperoni Bites!

How to Form Pepperoni Bites:

Roll pizza dough into 14″ x 8″ – rectangular-ish shape. Then cut in half horizontally and into 16 strips.

Lay about 4 pepperoni along each strip, roll up and pinch shut. Place them pinched side down on baking sheet.
