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!

Time 3h10m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

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!

EASY ROLLED PEPPERONI-MOZZARELLA BREAD

Easy Rolled Pepperoni-Mozzarella Bread image

there really is no exact measuring to this recipe, amounts I have listed are only a guideline you may decrease or increase all amounts to suit you taste, I just purchase a small chub of pepperoni pizza and then chop about half of it for this recipe, and I have also made this using all-beef salami --- make certain to seal up the edges of the bread dough or pizza dough tightly before baking or the cheese will run out --- I have made this with bread dough and also with pizza dough, although the pizza dough was great the bread dough was better, you have a choice of either one you desire

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (1 lb) frozen bread dough, loaf completely thawed (such as Rhodes bread dough, or can use one 13 7/8 ounce package refrigerated prepared pizza crust, s)
3 -4 tablespoons olive oil (or as needed)
fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (rubbed between fingers to release the flavor)
1/4 lb pizza pepperoni, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
kosher salt

Steps:

Set oven to 375 degrees F.
Grease a baking sheet.
Roll out the thawed bread dough into a rectangle then cover with a clean tea towel and allow to sit for about 15 minutes.
Brush the top of the dough with olive oil, then sprinkle with black pepper and Italian seasoning, then sprinkle the chopped pepperoni over the top.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the pepperoni then top with Parmesan cheese.
Roll up the dough in jelly-roll fashion, then pinch the long seam and the two ends tightly to seal completely.
Brush the outside of the dough with olive oil.
Place seam-side down onto baking pan then sprinkle a small amount of kosher salt over the top.
Bake for about 35 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

Choose the Right Pepperoni: Select high-quality pepperoni with a good balance of spices and a slightly crispy texture. Thicker slices of pepperoni tend to hold their shape better during baking.
Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh yeast and high-quality flour will significantly impact the bread's flavor and texture. Ensure your yeast is active and your flour is fresh and free of impurities.
Proper Dough Preparation: Follow the recipe's instructions carefully when preparing the dough. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, as this will help develop the gluten and give the bread a better structure.
Adequate Rise Time: Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. This rising time is crucial for the bread to develop its flavor and texture.
Control the Baking Temperature: Bake the bread at the correct temperature and for the specified duration. Over-baking can dry out the bread and make it tough, while under-baking can result in a doughy texture.
Optional Toppings: Feel free to experiment with different toppings beyond pepperoni. Popular options include grated Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, or a sprinkle of garlic powder or Italian seasoning.

Homemade pepperoni bread is a versatile and flavorful treat that can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or main course.
