Provided by Colleen Kennedy

Categories     Bread

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 whole egg, plus 1 egg yolk
1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 TBS sugar
3 TBS vegetable oil
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
black pepper
1 TBS plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
6 ounces chopped pepperoni (I like the thin slices for this typically found in a 6 oz package)
2 cups shredded cheese (I use 50% Mozzarella and 50% Provolone)
1 teaspoon oregano or Italian seasoning
2 TBS butter (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic paste or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a loaf pan with parchment paper (it can hang over the sides.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, sugar and oil and whisk until combined.
  • Add the flour, salt, pepper, spice and baking powder (all at once) and mix with a spatula until just incorporated.
  • Add in the pepperoni and cheese and mix with a spatula until just incorporated.
  • Scrape batter into the lined loaf pan and bake on the middle rack for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out dry.
  • Optional - I like to melt butter and mix it with garlic paste (or garlic powder) and pull the biscuits or loaf from the oven and quickly brush them with the mixture a few minutes before done cooking. A delicious flavor boost!
  • Allow the loaf to cool in the pan 5-10 minutes and then lift the loaf out, slice and enjoy If making as biscuits, bake for 10-15 minutes (depending on how large you make them). I typically use an ice cream scoop and place the batter on a parchment-lined baking pan.

EASY CHEESY PEPPERONI BREAD



Easy Cheesy Pepperoni Bread image

I created this recipe when I was looking for a pepperoni bread recipe and couldn't find one. I wanted a pepperoni bread, not a roll. So with some basic bread ingredients, I added a couple of my own. It turned out great, and I wanted to share it. My family loves it, and I hope yours will, also!

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h10m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups milk
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
3 cups flour, more if necessary for stickiness
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (I like to double this!)
8 ounces sliced pepperoni, cut into quarters (You can also use turkey pepperoni as a healthier option and to reduce on the grease the pepperoni gi)
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat milk and butter to 120°F Combine half of flour, yeast, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and pepperoni into a large bowl. Add milk and butter mixture.
  • Knead for 3 minutes. Add the rest of the flour in 1/2 cup portions, kneading between each. If the dough seems too sticky, slowly add more flour until the stickiness is corrected.
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, and spray the top of the dough with cooking spray. Cover and let rise for one hour.
  • Punch the dough down and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Form dough into a greased 9x5 loaf pan. (I like to use real butter to grease the pan. It gives the crust a great flavor.) Cover the pan with plastic wrap and allow to rise for about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F Bake loaves for 10 minutes; then turn oven down to 350F and bake for 30-35 minutes longer, until the breads are browned. Optional: add a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese to the top of the loaf when it has about 10 minutes left baking.
  • Allow bread to cool in pans for about 10 minutes, or until pans are cool enough to touch. Place loaf onto a wire rack and allow to cool for an additional 10-15 minutes so that the bread is cool enough to cut. Enjoy!
