PEPPERONI PUFFS
A co-worker brought these to a recent function, and they quickly disappeared from the table. I had to have the recipe. I'll probably add a pinch of dried red peppers or cayenne to this. I also usually 'nuke' pepperoni before cooking with it, to get rid of overabundant grease.

PEPPERONI PIZZA PUFFS
Pizza seems like a great party food, but it can be a little messy and also gets cold fast. One year, for a birthday party for one of the cousins, my brother-in-law Joey, who's always been a creative problem solver, had the idea to make pizza puffs, putting the filling inside the dough, in a sort of mini-calzone. As with pizza, you can change the filling, replacing the pepperoni with sausage or vegetables, such as sauteed mushrooms.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Using floured hands if needed, carefully stretch each piece into a thin disk (the shape doesn't have to be perfect) about 5 inches in diameter.
- Transfer the dough balls to the prepared baking sheet and fill each with 1/2 tablespoon mozzarella on one half, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Line the cheese with 3 slices pepperoni, and a strip of red pepper. Starting from the smaller border, stretch the dough over the filling, then continue rolling the dough (like you would roll a carpet) to wrap the filling twice. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet, seam-side down. Pinch any holes with your fingers to patch.
- Brush the dough with a very light coating of olive oil. Bake until golden-brown, 15 to 17 minutes, then remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your pepperoni puffs the best flavor. If possible, use organic, free-range, and locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don’t overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to develop flavor and become light and airy.
- Roll the dough out thinly: This will help the pepperoni puffs to cook evenly.
- Use a good quality pepperoni: The pepperoni is the star of the show, so make sure to use a good quality variety that you enjoy the taste of.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure to leave enough space between the pepperoni puffs so that they can cook evenly.
- Bake the pepperoni puffs until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy outer crust.
