Have a ball

In the bakery department at work some things just go better than others. Some may sell well for a little while and then die out. Some things may never sell very good at all. And then there are those items that just keep selling. One such item is our pepperoni balls. They are made from Italian bread dough. We make them three times a week. Each time we make them we make 15 bags and they always sell out by the next day.

I start by cutting a loaf of Italian bread into 10 pieces. I do three loaves at a time and a total of 9 loaves

 

Next I add a third of a slice of mozzarella cheese and 8 slices of pepperoni to each cut piece

 

Then I roll each piece into a ball and place 20 on a tray and put in a heated proof box for the dough to rise

 

The day I was making these I forgot to take a picture of them once they came out of the oven but here's a bag of them on the shelf ready to be sold

 

You get six in a bag for $2.99. I also occasionally do deep-fried pepperoni balls which in my opinion are much better but these sell like hotcakes.
