.Baked Flesh Rolls.

This recipe makes 2-3 dozen as an appetizer.


.Ingredients.
1/2 small red pepper, minced
4 oz. pepperoni, minced
1/3 C. mozzarella cheese, grated
1/4 C. freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 C. pizza sauce
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed


.Instructions.
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (or 200 C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, or grease them.

2. In a small bowl, stir together the red pepper, pepperoni, mozzarella, and parmesan. This helps with even distribution.

3. Unfold your two sheets of puff pastry and smooth seams if needed.

4. With a small spoon or a brush, coat the surface of each sheet of puff pastry lightly with pizza sauce. At one edge of each pastry sheet, leave about an inch bare. This will help keep it together when you roll it up.

5. Sprinkle cheese mixture evenly over each pastry sheet.

6. Starting from the side without the plain (pizza-sauce-free) edge, roll your pastry up firmly but not too tightly.

7. When you get to the plain edge, apply a little water to the plain section and seal firmly against the roll.

8. Cut each roll into 1/2" slices with a very sharp or serrated knife. It can help to refrigerate the rolls a little while before slicing if the dough gets too soft.

9. Bake about 20 minutes, or until golden-brown.


.Tips.
* Don't roll the centers too tight, or they center may not cook all the way. Firm but not tight is the rule!
* These pizza snacks are all about the label they are given you can use other names like "Fresh Sliced Arms" or "Sliced Baby's Leg".
* You can have extra pizza sauce and/or green-tinged ranch dressing on hand for dipping, if you so choose.
* Use whatever pizza ingredients you prefer, ham and pineapple, black olive and bacon or sausage and mushroom are all yummy alternatives.
