Mozzarella Pepperoni Bread Recipes

EASY PEPPERONI BREAD

Steps:

• Allow frozen bread dough to thaw approximately 8 hours, or overnight, in the refrigerator. Place dough in a large, lightly greased bowl. Place bowl in a warm location, and allow dough to rise until doubled (2 to 3 hours). Punch down dough.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• On a lightly greased, large baking sheet, roll dough into an approximately 12x18 inch rectangle. Brush dough lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with basil, onion flakes and oregano. Layer with pepperoni to within a half inch of the edges. Top with mozzarella cheese.
• Beginning with the longest edge, roll dough into a thin cylinder and seal seam. Glaze with egg.
• Bake in the preheated oven 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Cut into bite sized pieces to serve.

EASY CHEESY PEPPERONI BREAD

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!
