Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 oz Pepperoni slices
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp Butter, melted
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, active dry yeast, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough starts to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a 9x15-inch rectangle on a floured surface.
Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.
Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam and ends to seal.
Place the rolled dough seam-side down into the prepared loaf pan.
In a small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried Italian seasoning. Brush the top of the dough with melted butter, then sprinkle the Parmesan mixture evenly over the top.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your Pepperoni Cheese Bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
