Heat 1 cup of water in the microwave for 2 minutes until hot.

Add 1 teaspoon of dry active yeast to the hot water.

Mix in 1 tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt; stir until combined.

Wait for the yeast to become foamy and smell like beer.

Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and mix together as if using an electric mixer.

Lay out the pepperoni in a thin, even layer, ensuring no blank spots.

Layer cheese on top of the pepperoni in the same manner.

Roll the dough as if making cinnamon rolls, using parchment paper to help shape it into a stromboli.

Bake for 25 minutes until done.

Transfer the stromboli to a cutting board and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
