PEPPERONI BREAD

Steps:

• Add warm water to the bowl of the stand mixer with the dough hook attachment. Add in yeast and honey. Stir and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
• Add 2 cups of flour, salt, and oil. Mix to combine, 3-4 minutes on low speed. Slowly add remaining 1/2-1 cup of flour or until a smooth ball forms that pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rest for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll dough into a rectangle roughly 14'' x 22''. Spread with the shredded mozzarella, then top with the pepperoni.
• Starting from the longer side, roll into a log then place on a greased baking sheet. With a very sharp knife score the top of the bread to release the steam as it bakes.
• Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown on the outside.
• Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy!

HOMEMADE PEPPERONI PIZZA

Steps:

• For sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients with 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl; set aside for flavors to develop while making crust. Freeze remaining paste .
• For crusts: Combine 2 cups of flour with the dry yeast, sugar and salt. Add the water and oil and mix until well blended (about 1 minute). Gradually add enough remaining flour slowly, until a soft, sticky dough ball is formed.
• Knead for about 4 minutes, on a floured surface, until dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour, if needed. (If using RapidRise® Yeast, let dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.)
• Divide dough in half. Pat each half (with floured hands) into a 12-inch greased pizza pan OR roll dough to fit pans.
• For pizzas: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Top crusts with sauce, pepperoni and cheese.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until crusts are browned and cheese is bubbly. For best results, rotate pizza pans between top and bottom oven racks halfway through baking.

PEPPERONI PIZZA MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• For the mac and cheese: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook according to package instructions for al dente; drain, reserving 1 3/4 cups of the pasta water.
• Bring the milk, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking until the milk reduces to 1 1/2 cups, about 15 minutes. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Gradually whisk in both the Cheddar and Italian blend cheeses, a handful at a time, until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
• Add the cooked macaroni and reserved pasta water to the cheese sauce and stir to combine. Stir in the marinara sauce, sun-dried tomatoes and pepperoni and adjust the seasoning with salt. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Toss the bread crumbs, Parmesan and sun-dried tomato oil together in a small bowl until the crumbs are moistened and sprinkle evenly over the macaroni and cheese. Bake until bubbly and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

PEPPERONI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a loaf pan with parchment paper (it can hang over the sides.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, sugar and oil and whisk until combined.
• Add the flour, salt, pepper, spice and baking powder (all at once) and mix with a spatula until just incorporated.
• Add in the pepperoni and cheese and mix with a spatula until just incorporated.
• Scrape batter into the lined loaf pan and bake on the middle rack for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out dry.
• Optional - I like to melt butter and mix it with garlic paste (or garlic powder) and pull the biscuits or loaf from the oven and quickly brush them with the mixture a few minutes before done cooking. A delicious flavor boost!
• Allow the loaf to cool in the pan 5-10 minutes and then lift the loaf out, slice and enjoy If making as biscuits, bake for 10-15 minutes (depending on how large you make them). I typically use an ice cream scoop and place the batter on a parchment-lined baking pan.
