In a mixing bowl dissolve the packet of yeast in the warm water. Let set about 10 minutes (until creamy looking). Add flour, olive oil, salt, sugar and Italian seasoning and mix on low speed of a mixer (or by hand) until well mixed. You don’t need a dough hook here.
Cover bowl with a towel and let the dough rise till about double, approximately 30-45 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Once dough is risen, add pepperoni and paremesan and mix lightly with your fingers or a spoon. Dough will be sticky. Turn out onto a well floured surface and form into sticks.
Now, I was thinking that next time, I might just form the dough into a rectangle and bake whole. Once baked, I can then cut into strips/sticks. But this time, I formed four, long sticks (length of cookie sheet) and baked on a floured (or cornmealed) surface for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
Once, cool, cut into desired size pieces and freeze. Sticks can be put into the lunch box frozen in the morning and will be thawed by lunch. Serve with pizza sauce.
