Easy Abode Made Pepperoni

Have y'all e'er read the element listing on a packet of commercial pepperoni or looked closely at a land of it together with wondered what all those "bits" were? Exactly!! Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 pretty gross thought isn't it?? 

 If y'all desire to know just what is inwards YOUR pepperoni, seek this super tardily recipe. It's only high character pork together with seasonings baked inwards the oven at a super depression temperature for vi hours ....and it is delicious, (even picky-picky hubby loves it!!)



First of all, continue inwards postulate heed that when it's all cooked, it's NOT going to live brilliant red/orange similar commercial pepperoni, together with it's NOT going to live shaped perfectly round, but that sure didn't bother us. 

1 pound of soil pork (not sausage)
1 pound of soil beef (lean)
2 teaspoons liquid smoke
2 teaspoons dark pepper
2 teaspoons mustard seed
2 teaspoons fennel seed
1 teaspoon paprika
1 to two teaspoons carmine pepper flakes (see notes)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 slightly heaping teaspoons tabular array salt (see notes)
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 loving cup H2O ice water

Grind the dry out spices together (I used my mortar together with pestle) until they are about soil (it doesn't bring to live super fine).

Mix the meat, flavorings, H2O ice H2O together with liquid fume together only until combined. (I role my stand upwards mixer). Cover it well, together with chill it for 48 hours.

After 48 hours, mix in i lawsuit to a greater extent than gently together with coil the mixture into two logs together with house them on a foil lined baking canvas (make sure the baking canvas has a lip).


Bake inwards a pre-heated 200° oven for 8 hours. If y'all seriously desire circular pepperoni, plough the logs every two hours, but I never exercise that.  Your theatre is going to aroma wonderful!! 

After 8 hours, they volition expect similar this:


The "pepperoni" logs volition live quite theatre to the touch when they come upwards out of the oven. If at that spot is a lot of fatty on your baked pepperoni "logs", only wipe it off earlier y'all chill them, but I seldom bring that problem.

CHILL PEPPERONI BEFORE 
 YOU   SLICE !!

Let the baked logs cool a little, together with thus wind them inwards plastic wind together with chill them until they are real mutual frigidness before y'all land them.  Use a sudden knife together with land the sausages real thin.


This process is VERY tardily to brand together with has a wonderful flavor. 

NOTES: I purchase pork butt roast when it's on super sale together with only grind it alongside my stand upwards mixer, but y'all tin too only purchase commercially soil pork (UNSEASONED....not sausage!!)


NOTES: Picky-picky hubby is real shy when it comes to "heat", thus I brand this recipe alongside 1 + 1/4 teaspoons of carmine pepper flakes together with it's only right.  If y'all similar a spicier pepperoni, only add together to a greater extent than flakes.

NOTES: A banking concern notation nigh the color of this pepperoni. To larn a brilliant red/orange color inwards pepperoni, people role Morton's Tender Quick which has salt, sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite together with propylene glycol inwards it. Personally, it is non of import to us to bring that brilliant carmine color, thus I only role tabular array table salt instead of the Tender Quick together with it plant only fine.  I freeze my baked pepperoni.
