Pepperoni Cheese Bread Recipes

Steps:

• In bread machine pan, place the first 9 ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose crust color and loaf size if available. Bake according to bread machine directions (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons water or flour if needed)., Just before the final kneading (your machine may audibly signal this), add the cheese and pepperoni. Freeze option: Securely wrap and freeze cooled loaf in foil and place in freezer bag. To use, thaw at room temperature.

Steps:

• In bread machine pan, place the first seven ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer.
• Select basic bread setting.
• Choose medium crust color.
• Just before final kneading, (usually machine will beep at this time) add the pepperoni.
• Make a 1 1/2 lb loaf.
• Do not use delay timer feature for this recipe.

Steps:

• Heat milk and butter to 120°F Combine half of flour, yeast, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and pepperoni into a large bowl. Add milk and butter mixture.
• Knead for 3 minutes. Add the rest of the flour in 1/2 cup portions, kneading between each. If the dough seems too sticky, slowly add more flour until the stickiness is corrected.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, and spray the top of the dough with cooking spray. Cover and let rise for one hour.
• Punch the dough down and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Form dough into a greased 9x5 loaf pan. (I like to use real butter to grease the pan. It gives the crust a great flavor.) Cover the pan with plastic wrap and allow to rise for about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F Bake loaves for 10 minutes; then turn oven down to 350F and bake for 30-35 minutes longer, until the breads are browned. Optional: add a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese to the top of the loaf when it has about 10 minutes left baking.
• Allow bread to cool in pans for about 10 minutes, or until pans are cool enough to touch. Place loaf onto a wire rack and allow to cool for an additional 10-15 minutes so that the bread is cool enough to cut. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Add 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
• Combine water, milk, and butter in a saucepan over low heat. Heat until warm; butter does not need to melt. Gradually pour into the flour mixture, beating at medium speed until fully combined, about 2 minutes. Add remaining flour and continue mixing until a soft dough forms.
• Switch to a dough hook and knead until smooth and elastic, 5 to 6 minutes. Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Punch down dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half; return one half to the bowl and cover. Roll dough into a 12x16-inch rectangle. Whisk eggs with a small amount of water; brush some egg wash over the half of the rectangle farthest away from you.
• Arrange 16 provolone cheese slices in a single layer on the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on the edges. Place 1/2 of the pepperoni over the cheese. Starting at the edge closest to you, carefully roll dough up. Brush seams with egg wash and pinch them closed using some flour. Place loaf, seam-side down, on a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper; cover. Repeat with remaining dough, cheese, and pepperoni.
• Let loaves rest, covered, for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Uncover loaves and brush remaining egg wash over the entire surface of both loaves.
• Bake in the preheated oven, rotating pans halfway through, until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Slice into desired thickness and serve warm.

Steps:

• Place pepperoni slices in a food processor or blender, and pulse until finely chopped. Set aside.
• In a bowl, stir together cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, butter, and sour cream. Mix well with a mixer. Add chopped pepperoni, and mix well. Form into small balls, place on a serving platter, and refrigerate.

Steps:

• Mash the butter with the Parmesan, garlic, parsley and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
• On a work surface, lay out 4 slices bread. Top each piece of bread with 2 slices mozzarella, 6 slices pepperoni, 1 more slice mozzarella and another slice of bread. Spread some of the herb butter on each sandwich.
• In a large nonstick skillet, cook the sandwiches in batches as needed over medium-low heat until browned and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Place mushrooms in the basket of the air fryer. Set air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and cook mushroom slices for 5 minutes.
• Spread 1 tablespoon pesto onto the bottom half of the hoagie bun. Arrange salami slices over the pesto. Add ham and pepperoni.
• Place 1 slice of cheese over the ham and pepperoni. Top with mushrooms and olives. Add remaining slice of cheese. Spread remaining tablespoon of pesto on the other half of the bun and place on top to complete the sandwich.
• Place entire sandwich in the basket of the air fryer. Cook until cheese has melted and salami is crisp, about 5 minutes.
