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!
Ingredients:
- your favorite pizza dough
- 1/4 lb sandwich pepperoni, from the deli counter (or regular)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Roll out the fresh dough into more of a rectangle shape.
- Arrange pepperoni on top and sprinkle with cheese.
- Carefully roll up the dough and place seam side down on baking sheet. Fold each of the ends under.
- Brush the entire bread loaf with the melted butter. Slice a few vent holes into the top.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let rest 10 -15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!!
