This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 3)
Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!
Pepperoni Bread
Ingredients
1 loaf frozen bread dough (or homemade bread dough)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Oregano/Basil/Garlic/Onion Powder (to taste)
8 oz Pepperoni
8 oz Mozzarella Cheese
Marinara Sauce (for dipping)
Directions
Let dough rise. Once doubled in size, preheat your oven to 375. Mix together olive oil, parmesan and seasonings into a small bowl and set aside. Divide loaf of bread in half and roll each half out into a circle. On the circle, about 1" from the edge, lightly brush the oil mixture onto your bread. On one half of the circle, place your pepperoni and mozzarella cheese. Bring the “plain” side of the circle over and crimp the edges together (to make it a half-moon pocket of goodness!); place on a well greased baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes. At this point, remove bread from oven, brush on some of the olive oil mixture and return to oven for 10-15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes after removing from oven, use a pizza cutter to cut into strips about 2" wide, and serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
