Pizza Wheels

In a small glass bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand 10 minutes, until slightly bubbly.

In a large bowl, combine flour, slat, olive oil, honey and cold water. Add yeast mixture and stir to blend. Knead by hand until smooth and glossy, about 10 minutes. (Truthfully, I throw all of this in my Kitchen Aid mixing bowl with the dough hook and let it do the kneading.) Form into ball and place dough in a oiled bowl, turning to coat entire surface. Cover with plastic wrap and towel and let rise* until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

When it is done rising, roll into a rectangle about 9×13. Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning over the dough. Lay pepperoni liberally and randomly over the seasoning. Cover all with a layer of cheese, but not too thick.

Preheat oven to 425F. Roll up rectangles from long side, like cinnamon rolls. Cut into 1/2” wheels with a serrated bread knife. Lay the wheels an inch or two apart on pizza stones or cookie sheets covered with parchment paper. Squish them just a bit to help them hold their shape.

Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm or at room temp with pizza sauce.
