Pizza Treats:

Here is a great snack which can be made the day before and served cold with your other snacks.
What you need. What you do.
6 oz tomato paste. 2 tsp. oregano. 1/2 tsp basil. Dash of redhot sauce. Mix tomato paste, oregano, basil and hot sauce in a small bowl and set aside to steep.
2 tsps. dry yeast. 1 tsp. sugar. 1/4 cup lukewarm water. Mix yeast, sugar and water in a cup and set in warm place.
2 cups baker's flour. 1/2 tsp. salt. 3/4 cups lukewarm water. Place flour and salt in a counter top mixer with a dough hook. Pour in yeast mix and add warm water. Mix all ingredients into a slightly sticky ball. Add warm water or flour by the teaspoon to get the right consistency. Lift hook and scrape dough back into bowl. Cover the bowl with a cloth and allow to rise.
When dough has doubled (about 1 hour), kneed dough with the hook again. Cover and allow to rise again.
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese. 1 cup thin sliced pepperoni. When dough is doubled, punch it down and roll it out on a floured board into a thin 12 X 20 inch rectangle. Spread tomato paste mixture on dough. Spread cheese on top. Spread pepperoni on top. Roll dough into a roll from the long side like a jelly roll. Seal edges with a bit of water.
Olive oil. Lightly oil a cookie sheet. Place roll on the sheet. Curve to fit if necessary. Cover and allow to rise about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 deg.
Bake roll at 400 deg for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
When ready to serve cut roll into 1 inch slices and arrange on a serving tray.
