Thanks for the recipe. They look nice and decadent 
We're going to a potluck in a couple of weeks and I'm going to try my hand at making these.

These are quite simple. You can add whatever you like but the basic recipe is frozen bread dough and sliced pepperoni from the supermarket.
In the frozen food section we get a package of three bread dough loaves, and one package of pepperoni slices, your choice.
Let the bread dough thaw but not rise, otherwise you get light airy rolls and the pepperoni required will double and the juices won't infiltrate the dough while cooking.
I preheat the oven to 400 convection while I prep the rolls.
Pull off a section of bread dough, stuff in about 3 slices of pepperoni, fold over and then lay in 3 more slices, fold over and kneed into a ball, place on a greased cookie sheet.
You can make them as large or small or random as you like in size, I don't care for them being too large, prefer more pepperoni than roll.
Place them in oven for 15 minutes and check add time as needed. Pull let cool for 10 seconds and grab one because you can't wait, suggest though you heed the advice of your burning fingertips and wait a minute before shoving in your mouth.
Heres the inside, notice how the pepperoni infuses the dough with a nice flavor of the pepperoni.
Again this is the way they are made in WV, where I learned of them visiting my future in-laws and my wife bought me some at Bonnie Belles in Nutter Fort.
