I’ve been greatly over-making pizza dough. I stop at two punch-downs, separate it into golfball-sized lumps, throw them into deli containers separated with parchment squares, and freeze them. When I need some pepperoni rolls, I take out a couple and throw them in another deli container in the fridge the night before. They work exactly as fresh for a few weeks, after a month or so, you need to let them rise a bit more after thawing.
Next step will be to pre-make and freeze the rolls.
pepperoni rolls
can you share your recipe or a link to a good recipe?
Make pizza dough. Over-develop the gluten a little so it’s nice and stretchy. Pull off a bit bigger than a golf ball. Flatten it to 5"x 7". Place two mostly overlapping 3" sandwich-sized pepperoni on one end, fold over the sides, and roll them tight into a burrito-like shape. pinch all the seams shut. Walmart’s deli pepperoni are ideal for this. You want something greasy and salty. Now is not the time for low fat or low sodium.
Cut to deep lines in the top of the rolls (at least 1/4 of the way through) so they can expand and vent when they cook.
Bake at 400 or airfry and 350 until just barely past blonde.
If the pepperoni is good, you won’t need to add extra salt or seasoning to the dough. The grease form the meat will flow through the dough while it rises. I tried adding red sauce, cheese, ham, mushrooms, sausage, even chicken pesto. Nothing beats sandwich pepperoni and two seem to be the ideal amount.
Edit: Note: I just noticed what lemmy community this. Disregard it.
If you have a failed mechanical hard drive for a computer, putting the hard drive in freezer overnight can buy you about 10 minute of functional operation before the drive heats up and fails again. You usually only get one shot at this, but if you know where your critical data is, 10 minutes can usually get the data saved off.
The title didn’t say your post had to involve food.
Disregard it.
no! i like it. this is the special lemmy spirit :-)
When you make jelly, put it in the fridge until it is wobbly solid. Then move the jelly into the freezer for 15 minutes. The jelly will turn half slushy/shaved ice.
Freeze vegetable scraps like celery trimmings, onion and carrot skins, or things that are going a bit off.
When you have enough…. Stock.
Also keep the carcass from breaking down whole chickens. (Chicken stock.)
You can get jumbo ice cube molds and freeze it in half-cup blocks.
