Pepperoni bread has always been one of my absolute favorites. However, around here it’s not that easy to find already made up. So it’s always been a rare treat for us whenever we come across it.
Since I’m still on my cooking high, I decided it was time to just make pepperoni bread on my own. Wow, it turned out absolutely yummy! I think it may have even been better than any store bought version I’ve ever had, not to toot my own horn of course! 
I used sandwich pepperoni from the deli counter because I like the larger slices better but any pepperoni will work well.
Now that we’re only eating homemade pizza and none of the processed, preserved frozen kind, I’ve been making a few batches of pizza dough at a time. That way, there’s always fresh homemade pizza dough ready in the freezer. Just pull dough out of the freezer, let it thaw for a few hours and soon you’ll be enjoying fresh baked pepperoni bread!
