Pepperoni Rolls

I got this recipe from Jaesi on 24 Hour Menu! It was a fun change and I know when Nathan gets a little older he will love it! In her words, "I often make these if I just don't feel like cooking a big dinner. They are super simple but really yummy. I'll serve with pizza sauce and a salad of sort or in tonight's very lazy case...applesauce."

3 Rhodes frozen bread dough loafs
Pepperoni
Melter butter
Garlic powder
Parmesan cheese

Thaw dough and cut each loafs into 8 pieces. Wrap each piece around 2 or 3 pepperoni's and form into a roll. Dip in butter and sprinkle with parm cheese and garlic powder. Cover and allow to rise until double. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
