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

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

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:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your pepperoni bread the best flavor. If possible, use fresh pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and parsley.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to rise properly and give your pepperoni bread a light and airy texture.
  • Preheat your oven before baking: This will help the pepperoni bread to cook evenly.
  • Bake the pepperoni bread until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the pepperoni bread cool slightly before slicing: This will help to prevent the cheese from oozing out.
