Add the warm water, olive oil, and honey to the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle the salt around the edges of the pan, avoiding the center.
Add the bread flour and milk powder on top of the liquids, making sure the flour completely covers the liquid.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast.
Start the bread machine on the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting, choosing the light or medium crust option depending on your preference.
Once the machine completes its first kneading cycle and beeps for add-ins, add the shredded mozzarella cheese and chopped pepperoni.
Allow the bread machine to complete its cycle, including kneading, rising, and baking.
When the bread is finished baking, carefully remove it from the machine and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
