Celebration Rolls


I can't remember where these rolls got their name but they are so good that they are a cause for celebration. I made almost 30 of these for my workers yesterday.
 


I made this pizza dough recipe:

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 3-1/2 tsp dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil , plus more for bowl and drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Pour the water into a large bowl; sprinkle with yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, oil, and salt. Add flour and stir until a sticky dough forms.
  • Lightly brush another large bowl with a little olive oil. Place dough inside and drizzle a little oil over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead 1 or 2 times, forming into a round. Let rest for about 10 more minutes.
  • Use or store as is for 1 large pizza, or divide into 4 equal portions for individual pizzas.

I split the dough in half and rolled it into a rectangle then brushed it with garlic butter. Then I sprinkled it with a mixture of shredded provolone, parmesan and mozzarella.  I sprinkled Italian seasoning on it and then layered thinly sliced salami, ham and mortadella.  Roll into a log and slice about 1-1/2 inch thick.

Brush the tops with more garlic butter and bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes.


Before baking, I sit each roll on a piece of sandwich size pepperoni.  It gets very crispy as the rolls bake and it really adds to the flavor.



I served them with ranch dressing.  I think there were 7 or 8 workers there yesterday and within 45 minutes of me taking these to them, more than half were gone.  By the end of the workday, there were none left.

Feeding your renovation crew is a good strategy - keeps them coming back and doing their best for you.
