I am a le cordon Bleu trained pastry chef that was born and raised in WV! It’s my life’s mission to spread the pepperoni roll world wide! I’ve already got a following in Florida where the bakery I work for makes them from my advice!
You're the perfect person to ask, then - can I add cheese to my pepperoni rolls without ruining them? I'm in WV and I've had them with cheese, but I'm not sure about the kind and amount of cheese to use. If you even see this, thanks in advance for any suggestions you can offer!
Hello fellow Le Cordon blue Alum! I moved to WV from CA last year, i went to the Hollywood school before they closed. I'm planning on making some pepperoni rolls with ramps, hope it comes out well 🤞🏽
@@melancholymuse9759how’d they turn out? I’ve had them with ramp butter but not straight ramps haha
In texas I ran into a lot of koloche bars and the one I went to had a pepperoni pizza one closest I’ve every felt to home in WV in a while
Where in Florida
My Italian grandmother made this exact recipe for grandad (in a batch for the week) and he carried two in his lunch pail to the coal mine in Preston County, WV every day. Nona sometime include peperoncini peppers or banana peppers or what ever was ripe in the garden.
I haven't set foot in West Virginia in almost 20 years but tonight a memory of picking up a bag of pepperoni rolls in a Fairmont gas station made my mouth instantly water. I'll be making these.
The Fairmont gas station has the best pepperoni roll selection:) I've been in California for 20+ years and I still remember that's my fave spot.
I just moved here to Fairmont from Long island 3 weeks ago and these things are awful.
@@removerinnawoods8536 roflmao
@@removerinnawoods8536 that is fucking hilarious. You're wrong though.
@@removerinnawoods8536 then you bought a bad brand then. Theres some i dont like either but if you go to whitehall and get a pepperoni roll from colasessanos or country club bakery youll change your mind.
I love that this was uploaded in 2020 and except for the smartphone breaking my immersion it somehow looks like it took place in 95.
Morgantown girl here (living in Ft. Lauderdale). I loved this tutorial (esp. the waiting time ... lol!) Thanks for spreading the word about our wonderful pepperoni rolls!!
Because of this video, I will be moving to WV...
the people are absolutely wonderful...do not listen to ANY negative talk about WV,,most of those yappers never set on foot in the Mountaineer State !!!
I love the whole vibe of this video recipe. The mothman shirt really brings it all together😂
As a pastry chef that grew up in WV and owned the bakery in Princeton many years, I used slices but also put cheese in them and egg wash on top! A little garlic and herbs in the dough takes it next level!
My mother’s dough is stuffed with slice pepperoni, hard salami (2:1 ratio), mozzarella, provolone and a fine mild banana pepper relish.
Thanks for sharing! I married my husband who is from West Virginia and he has been dying for a piece of home. Can’t wait to surprise him with pepperoni rolls!
You guys are great! Very informative and hilarious. Im a retired school cook. I love this. And the cut the pepperoni part...I had to crack up.
I haven't had these from home (WV-I'm a Huntington boy) for about 30 years. I haven't made any for about 5 but have a family request for them this coming Friday when we normally have a family night dinner for as many as 12. Thanks for the memories.
Tried your recipe last night. They turned out great.
this is by far my favorite recipe! my girlfriend loves them and Im making some for a get together in Chicago. Originally from SW PA. Love WV!
I agree that the waiting is the hardest part. I’m actually waiting for the dough to rise as I am typing. Love West Virginia 🤩🥰🙏🏻
I am from and still live in WV. Wayne County! Thanks so much for sharing a small glimpse of some of what makes us special. Great recipe!
I grew up in Bluefield and our schools used to have a pepperoni roll day about once per month. That was the one day when everyone ate school lunch, they were so good. One difference, though, is that they had American cheese in them as well. Frozen Rhodes dinner rolls make an amazing substitution if you want to try them at home but don't want to do the dough from scratch.
In Kindergarten, in Tyler County of all places, we had pepperoni rolls and tomato soup every Friday. It was the best! I always took the pepperoni out and put it in my soup, then dipped the bread while the pepperoni warmed and the fat rendered/melted into my soup, then I spooned up my tomato soup with slices of pepperoni. I still remember how it tasted. Bomb.
I remember those days! I went to Princeton high school
I miss the old school food that was hand made. They phased out the handmade stuff when i hit 8th or 9th grade. School lunch sucked after that.
STICK Pepperoni Rolls!!!! You've made my day! Thank you for the great tutorial !
I make these every year for my husband on his birthday using this recipe. Today has finally come to make these again. Lol I’m from Alabama so hard cultural shock for me that this is one of my husbands top foods he enjoys from WV.
Thank you nice recipe. It would have been nice to see the inside of the roll after you cut it open before taking a bit.
I made these last night from your recipe! I have lived on the Gulf Coast for close to ten years now, and while I was eating a bag of pepperoni, I had a flashback to making pepperoni rolls with my mom in Rivesville, WV and mailing them to all our fam for the holidays. We had Sunday school breakfast this morning in Gulfport MS, so my housemate and I watched this video a couple times and baked them last night. People tore them up! I made a double batch as well as made them half the size of yours (so I had roughly 32), and people tooooore them up. Had to teach them the origins of the pepperoni roll 😉 now they know!!
Small world. I just moved from Destin, FL! & before that I lived in Arnettsville, WV. 😅
Hahaha Destin here!! From Parkersburg, WV.
Cool shirt man! Moth Man has always fascinated me. And those rolls look delicious!
Lived most of my life in Marion county wv and still here. The O.G. pepperoni roll is bread and pepperoni. Made as an inexpensive, easy on-the-go meal, and are still made this way at the place of origin, Country Club bakery in Fairmont, WV.
You can add anything you desire to the roll before or after baking. Cheese, sauce, peppers, etc. You do you. I like all that as well. But an original pepperoni roll is bread and pepperoni.
I like your deadpan dry sense of humor, reminds me, of me lol.
I moved away from the western PA area about five years ago and really missed pepperoni rolls. I tried a couple of different doughs and never found quite what I was looking for. This is as close to perfect as I have found for pepperoni rolls that are what I was looking for.
Thanks for sharing!
Oh my, I was born and raised outside Bridgeport, West Virginia ... in one of those little hollers. I went to the Bridgeport schools and graduated from Bridgeport Senior High in 1973. I lived there for 33 years. That's really close to Lost Creek! Thank You for the memories!
Pepperoni rolls are just one of the things I really miss. I like mine plain, just the pepperoni and bread. I have thousands of wonderful memories of my childhood growing up in that holler. We were poor as dirt, but we had good things to eat because we grew everything. I haven't been back there in years. I should do that before I die.
It's funny I ran across your channel today. I had made a big crockpot of Italian Meatballs and Sauce the other day and last evening I was putting together supper. An open faced Meatball Sandwich! Oliverio's Peppers came to my mind. I got online and found they had a website and so I ordered 3 jars of their yummy peppers. I hope I have some meatballs and sauce left when they get here LOL.
I love this! Thank you! My family is from West Virginia, and me being from Oklahoma, I have only had them when I come back to visit. Now I'm going to make some thanks to you two.
excellent tutorial !!! Thanks sooooooo much !!!!! I miss them rolls !!!
Can’t wait to make these
These really hit the spot! My dad was from Lost Creek and I lived there myself for a few years. I miss it and hope to go back one of these days.
I've been getting them at Save a lot to pack in my hubby's lunch for work everyday. I decided to make them myself because it is so much cheaper. I got some rhodes rolls and sliced pepperoni. Very simple to make. But I want to make them like you all are making them! Definitely going to try your recipe soon.
You will love the ones you make with homemade dough, no comparison. The texture is so different and even tho I have done them with the frozen bread dough too, the ones with Your dough, will be even better.
@@wvbonbonqueen He loves the ones I've been making. I had forgotten about this video! But he says the homemade ones are so much better than store bought. Can't wait to try this recipe. He will love them even more.
@@oflo1750 Yes he will!!! Nothing beats homemade, hot from the oven!! Have a great Sunday!!!!
I’m a eat Virginian. We love those pepperoni roles.
Excellent! Now let’s do a video on traditional West Virginia apple butter!
YAS!!!!!
Thanks, guys! Making these TODAY! ❤
Yummy 😋
I wish the recipe was still on your website. But I followed along with the video. Currently on the first rise I hope they turn out good. When I drive to south Carolina I pass thru WV and had some. Been craving them every since.
Grandsons going To the university of West Virginia and I’ve been looking for a recipe to try this for him, being Italian I would’ve thought they would’ve put sauce and cheese but this is how they did it in West Virginia so that’s how I’m gonna make it so we can get used to her traditional local favorite
from wv.. you can do that, but, usually I get marinara sauce to dip into.. different varieties. I like my marinara sauce a little sweet
the end part of the video was hilarious🤣🤣
Excellent recipe. We just made them and they came out as the best ones we ever had. Thank you so much for sharing!
Brush with butter and dust with either parmesan cheese or garlic salt to kick it up a notch
Just made rolls with this recipe and I love how they turned out! Made half with just pepperoni, and half with pepperoni and mozzarella. A welcome nostalgic flavor as I've not lived in WV for 4 years now, and don't intend to return anytime soon.
In Jefferson County Ohio. Thank you for the upload.
I grew up in Marietta Ohio. We had a baker called Brownies. Unfortunately the bakery burned down. They still sell the stick pepperoni rolls at various businesses around town., but that are not the same. The ovens have a lot to do with it.
Almost heaven West Virginia ❤
Thank god for this fella
Thanks for posting. I spent 20 years working for AEP.
I worked out of Pikeville, Ky Office. I spent a lot of time in Huntington area and Ashland , Ky area, as well as Williamson and Blue field WV.
I am retired and no longer in the area. You have made me home sick.
Any way thanks I will try these.
Love it 💯👍
Absolutely delicious. The dough was fantastic to work with. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
I’m going to try this tomorrow my grandson‘s going to the University of West Virginia, I want them to get used to the local favorite
What are you guys recording this on? Looks oddly vintage but in a nice way. Thanks for the recipe!
The country store in farmington has the best rolls I've ever had
Which country store in Farmington? Idamay girl here, now living in FL
From Wheeling , but the best I’ve had were from the donut shop in Buckhannon. I’ll give your recipe a try. Thx
Agreed stick is the best
Taste great. I think I’ll do 1/2 water and 1/2 milk next time. I like the bread a bit lighter. Great job.
That was my only issue. I wanted them a little softer than what I turned out with. I also used a little extra sugar, but I think I will use a little more next time.
Love this video thank you Merry Christmas
I make pepperoni rolls and I put sauce and cheese in mine. And I use the slice pepperoni.
Research stromboli, get water for the dough from Long Island
Great video! As a home bread baker from NJ, I do make pepperoni Stromboli, but I want to make these as they look delicious.
Crazy I went to school in West Virginia and this shit right here with a side of hot mozz mac and cheese
awesome
Those look delicious!!!
Hello from Mon County! You are right they are good for anytime!
What kind of barbarian doesn't add cheese to their pepperoni rolls?
So…I imagine it may be sacrilege to sneak a little mozzarella in there? I think I’ll try making them without. These look SO good…thank you!
😂 sacrileeeege
Hi I’m living a West Virginia Harrison county!!!
Stick is the best
These rock
The official food of Almost Heaven
Half way to a Calzone, does look good!
This was good, though I wish I could have seen the inside of one after it was out of the oven.
Loving the t-shirt
These people are so " dead pan" iits hilarious!😅
No idea what I did wrong as I followed your measurements exactly, but the dough ended up a sticky mess, even after nearly an hour of mixing. Did not end up like it looks in the video at all. Absolutely won't be attempting this again until I have my own stand mixer.
Awww man that's a shame! Did you try adding more flour to it along the way??
I had the same problem and I was using a stand mixer. I added over a half of a cup of flour and it was still sticky.
Water isn't the same everywhere
For some reason this resolution being 360p makes sense. Guessing it was filmed with a pepperoni roll. :)
8:56 preheating oven to 350
Are there any condiments typically consumed with this dish?
Flour measurement way off. had to add 3/4 cups more flour.
Same here. Came back see if I was the only one. Dough was super sticky with just 4 cups.
Her son owns the dairy mart
Nice
That's pretty yummy
When was mean by Julio chico From Morgantown
I haven't had any pepperoni rolls because it's been over 15 years since I was in West Virginia. Also, I'm allergic to pork, so does turkey pepperoni rolls work, or would they be too dry?
My daughter is doing a project at school for heritage recipes from around the continental US. She needs a date for the Pepperoni Roll recipe and something to site. Ideas?
What is your brand of pepperoni that you use?
Ever tried it in a dutch oven on a camp fire?
I’m making this right now and why do I feel like it should be tablespoon for the yeast not teaspoon
Pepperoni rolls are only a northern wv/ohio/pittsburgh thing. From Raleigh county and never heard of them.
Also from Raleigh, we had them constantly at school growing up. Not to mention gas stations or any bake sale
Are the rolls ever served with Marinara to dip them in?
What is the temperature of the oven ?
🤣🤣😂😂 @ the waiting
Are pepperoni rolls a regional food?
Yes. They originated as a less expensive food option for cash strapped coal miners that could be packed for a workday lunch and didn’t have to be refrigerated. The invention has attributed to an Italian immigrant.
What do you preheat the oven to?
They said 350
Funny, she is the bread maker but he makes it.
I followed this recipe to the letter!! And my dough dies not come out kije theirs dirs after mixing. It us very very sticky and almost like thick paste. WTF? Like serioysly? The onky way i could have done thus more the way they did was to invite them to my hoyse ro watch me do it.
What brand of pepperoni do you use? Thank you.
What temperature do you set the oven at?
Nice video but I didn't see or hear anything about oven temperature???
@@davebryant8050 I guess I missed it. Thanks for not criticizing and just giving me the temperature. Your kindness is awesome.
It was 350° F, I had to rewatch the video as well to find it.
If we were to I corporate cheese into our rolls, how would you go about it?
incorporate*
I’d either cut some cheese into sticks
and put it next to the pepperoni stick. Or put some grated cheese into the flattened roll, put your pepperoni stick on top, then roll the dough
cut it open after you bake it and add your cheese then put in the oven for a few minutes. I like hot pepper cheese in mine but only do a few at a time because they keep better with out the cheese in them
@@shaunnasimmons1028 The way Colasessano's, Woody's and other in Fairmont do it is after they are done cooking. You will cut them open and add mozzarella cheese (or your choice), Oliverio's peppers and sauce (almost like a hotdog sauce). That is a bun with everything. You can chose any or all of them.
Most people usually put the cheese in when they put the pepperoni in ... we always used the slices of pepperoni instead of the stick...
I just purchased the same kind of yeast and for the life of me I cant get mine to foam! Grrrr what could be wrong? I'm doing every step you said?
I just ran into something similar. Did you take the bowl off the double boiler?
Once the milk reached 100 degrees, I shut off the burner, added the yeast and sugar, then left the bowl on the pot. This helped tremendously.
Yes
I ended up having to use a bit more due to my different climate , it ended up working
Can I use frozen bread dough
Yes, a lot of people who want a “cheater” recipe will use frozen rolls. I’ve done it a time or two. But honestly, by the time the rolls are defrosted, you could have already made a batch.
What temp do you bake them for?
No cheese?
Hello, what temperature do you bake the rolls? thanks
I tried 350F and they turned out great.
