How to Make Pepperoni Bread
This Easy Pepperoni Bread is made with homemade pizza dough and stuffed with mozzarella cheese and tons of pepperoni. It gets rolled up into a loaf and baked until golden brown and bubbly! Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping! Up to 8 Servings
INGREDIENTS
1 cup water (heated to 110°F)
2 ¼ tsp instant dry yeast
2 tsp honey
1½ tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
2½-3 cups all purpose flour
3 cups shredded mozzarella
6 ounce package of pepperoni
marinara sauce for dipping, if desired
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.
Tips for making Pepperoni Bread
If you are short on time you can use store bought pizza dough. Just follow the rest of the steps and bake as directed.
When the bread comes out of the oven you can brush it with a little melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and parmesan cheese for a garlic bread pizza loaf!
I love using mozzarella cheese however use what you have or hand! Provolone cheese, parmesan, swiss, or cheddar would all be good in this pepperoni pizza loaf.
You can bake this Pepperoni cheese bread on a pizza stone. It will get an even crispier bottom.
Don’t be worried if the cheese oozes out at all this is normal! My husband loves to eat the melted cheese that get’s stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Instead of doing pepperoni you can add in salami or your favorite types of Italian meats. Spicy sausage would be amazing in this or barbecue chicken!
