Serves: about 72 slices (around 24 servings)
Ingredients
  • 27 fluid ounces (3⅜ cups) water
  • 1 tablespoon instant active yeast
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1106 grams (approximately 8¾ cups) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 60 dairy-free large sandwich-size pepperoni slices (approximately 8 ounces)
Instructions
  1. Microwave the water in a large bowl until just tepid, approximately 30 to 45 seconds.
  2. Add the yeast and sugar to the warm water.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  4. Slowly stir the flour and salt into the water, about a tablespoon at a time.
  5. Knead well for approximately 10 minutes, either with a dough hook mixer attachment or by hand.
  6. Brush the inside of a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
  7. Put the dough in the oiled bowl, turn it over, cover with a clean dish cloth, and let it rise until doubled, anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 425ºF.
  9. Punch down the dough and place it on a floured cutting board.
  10. Cut the dough in half, then in thirds, making 6 equal portions.
  11. Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  12. Flatten one ball of dough into a rectangle on the cookie sheet.
  13. Lay 9 to 10 pepperoni slices on the dough (use more if using small pepperoni slices).
  14. Roll the dough into a cylinder, starting with one of the long sides.
  15. Place the roll seam side down on one side of the baking sheet, tucking the ends under.
  16. Repeat with a second portion of dough and pepperoni slices.
  17. Place in the center of the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  18. Remove to a cooling rack.
  19. Let cool for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing into 1-inch slices.
  20. Repeat with the four remaining dough portions, baking two at a time on a cookie sheet.
  21. Serve warm or at room temperature.
