Recipe View Store leftover pepperoni in an airtight container in the refrigerator or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap to maintain freshness.

For a deeper, smokier flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the dry ingredient mixture.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the spiciness level to your preference.
Ensure the foil is tightly wrapped to prevent steam from escaping during baking, which can affect the texture.
For best results, allow the pepperoni to cool completely before slicing. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
Try searing the pepperoni slices in a hot pan with a little oil before adding to your pizza for a crispy, caramelized edge.

    The liquid smoke is key to getting that pepperoni flavor. I added a bit more cayenne for extra heat!

    Make sure you wrap the foil tight! My first batch was a little soft, but the second time was perfect.

  • Fletcher Murphy

    Great recipe! I use it all the time and sometimes add a bit of sundried tomato paste to add a little more depth
