Pepperoni Bread
Pepperoni Bread is loaded with diced pepperoni, mozzarella, and herbs so it tastes like you're eating pepperoni pizza. It will not last long- you won't want to share!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoon instant dry yeast
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ¼ cups water, warmed to 110℉
- 1 cup diced pepperoni, plus more for topping
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, plus more for topping
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Combine bread flour, sugar, salt, Italian seasoning and instant yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the extra virgin olive oil, warm water, diced pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. Mix on low speed 2 for 5 minutes, until a tacky dough ball forms.
- Remove dough and transfer to an oiled baking sheet. Shape into a ball, cover with a heavy cloth and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
- When the dough is done rising, knead a few more times and reshape into a ball or rectangle. Slice a few cuts into the top, cover with the cloth, and let rise for 40 more minutes.
- Remove the towel and brush the top of the dough lightly with egg white or milk. Arrange extra pepperoni slices on top of the dough. Bake in the oven preheated to 350°F for 40 minutes. With 10 minutes remaining, sprinkle with a small amount of mozzarella cheese. *Bread is done when the internal temperature on a digital thermometer reaches 190℉. If not done at 40 minutes, continue baking in 5 minute increments.
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
