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!

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Canola oil
Kosher salt
One 1-pound box rotini pasta
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium zucchini, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
One 6-ounce package sliced pepperoni, roughly chopped
One 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes
6 fresh basil leaves, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 teaspoon oil.
  • Bring a large pasta pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add a big pinch of salt and the pasta. Cover and return the water to a boil. Remove the cover and cook for 5 minutes. The pasta will not be completely cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon oil. When it is hot, add the onions and zucchini and cook until they are softened and brown slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and pepperoni and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes and basil and simmer for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Reserve 1 cup of the tomato sauce for another use, such as Round 2 Recipe Garlic Bread Pizza.
  • Stir in the pasta and cheese into the skillet. Pour into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top and drizzle with the 1 tablespoon oil. Bake until the top is browned and the casserole is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread like French bread or Italian bread will hold up well to the toppings and prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A blend of cheeses, such as mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan, will create a gooey, flavorful filling.
  • Don't skimp on the pepperoni: Pepperoni is the star of the show, so be generous with it.
  • Add some vegetables: Sautéed onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms will add color, flavor, and texture to the bread.
  • Brush the bread with garlic butter: This will give the bread a golden brown crust and a delicious garlic flavor.
  • Bake the bread until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will ensure that the cheese is fully melted and the bread is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Pepperoni cheese bread is a quick and easy appetizer or snack that is always a crowd-pleaser. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, it's a surefire hit at any party or gathering.
