I love pizza. For awhile I went through a weird pizza hating phase, but luckily that has passed, and pizza and I have gotten back together. Lately I have been trying out some new pizza variations. I attempted a BBQ chicken pizza, and it was so bad we had to throw it all away, so if you know of a good BBQ chicken pizza recipe let me know. Fortunately this Pepperoni Bread is absolutely delicious. This is another recipe I got from my sister-in-law, Maree. She made it for us once and I had to have the recipe.
This particular recipe calls for a bread maker. You can just mix the dough in a mixer and let it rise for about 60-90 minutes, but the bread maker makes it so much easier.
Ingredients:
1/3 C Oil
1 Egg
12 ounces warm, not hot, water
4 1/4 C Flour
1/2 C Milk
3 T Sugar
1 1/2 t Salt
3 tsp Yeast
Pepperoni
Cheese
Add the first three ingredients to the bread machine pan. Then add the dry ingredients. Set the bread machine at the dough cycle and push start. This cycle usually last 90 minutes to 2 hours.
This makes two loaves, so divide the dough in half. Roll the half portion into a large rectangle. Cover the middle third of the dough with pepperoni slices and cheese. Be generous. Fold one side of the dough over the pepperoni slices and cheese. Now repeat, placing a second layer of pepperoni and cheese on top. Fold the other side of the dough over the top and pinch the ends and edges closed. You can use a knife to cut the top of the loaf to make it look like french bread. Repeat the whole process with the second half of the dough.
Allow loaves to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. Brush loaves with a whole beaten egg and bake for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve with pizza sauce for dipping.
This makes a lot. To give you an idea, I followed this recipe exactly, added a couple salads and fed 8 adults and 2 children.
