Put a ball of defrosted bread dough on a rolling surface and roll it out into an oval shape. Continue until all of the dough balls are in the rough shape of footballs
Put a heavy teaspoon of sauce on half of the dough ovals and spread around. Leave a rim around the edge with no sauce.
Place a few mini pepperonis on the sauce, then add a little shredded cheese.
Top with a second oval of dough. Pinch the edges together to seal.
Cut the sliced cheese into strips and place over dough to resemble the laces on a football.
Bake on parchment paper in a 350°F oven for 13-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
