Pepperonibread Recipes

Steps:

• Allow frozen bread dough to thaw approximately 8 hours, or overnight, in the refrigerator. Place dough in a large, lightly greased bowl. Place bowl in a warm location, and allow dough to rise until doubled (2 to 3 hours). Punch down dough.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• On a lightly greased, large baking sheet, roll dough into an approximately 12x18 inch rectangle. Brush dough lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with basil, onion flakes and oregano. Layer with pepperoni to within a half inch of the edges. Top with mozzarella cheese.
• Beginning with the longest edge, roll dough into a thin cylinder and seal seam. Glaze with egg.
• Bake in the preheated oven 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Cut into bite sized pieces to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• Roll frozen bread dough out into a rectangle. Brush dough with beaten egg. Arrange pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese over the dough. Sprinkle on the Italian seasoning. Roll up dough like a jelly roll and pinch seam to seal; place, seam side down, on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until golden.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375º F.
• Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• Roll frozen bread dough out into a rectangle.
• Brush dough with beaten egg.
• Arrange pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese over the dough.
• Sprinkle on the Italian seasoning.
• Roll up dough like a jellyroll and pinch seam to seal; place, seam side down, on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 40 minutes, or until golden.

Steps:

• For the dough: Combine the flour, salt and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Stir to combine, then add 1 cup water. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together into a rough ball. Continue mixing at medium-low speed until the dough forms a smooth, silky ball, about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a tight ball, set in the bottom of the mixer bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until the dough has roughly doubled in size, about an hour.
• For the pepperoni roll: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roll the dough out into a rectangle 1/4 inch thick. If the dough isn't stretching well, cover and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, then stretch again.
• Leaving a 1/2-inch border, cover the dough with the sliced pepperoni. Cover the pepperoni with the mozzarella. Fold over the outside edges of the dough and roll up lengthwise like a jelly roll.
• Transfer the roll to the baking sheet, seam-side down. Make 6 shallow cuts on an angle on the top of the roll. Brush with the oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Gently heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan until the butter is melted. The milk should be just a little hotter than warm, between 100 and 115 degrees F (but no warmer than 115 degrees F). Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the sugar, yeast and 2 teaspoons salt. Let the mixture sit until the yeast is activated and foam covers the top, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Add the flour, egg and yeast liquid to a large bowl. Make the dough by mixing the ingredients together with a rubber spatula. Make sure all ingredients are incorporated; the dough will be sticky and loose. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours. Remove the plastic and gently re-knead the dough in order to deflate it while still in the bowl. Form into a ball, as best you can, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Transfer the dough to a very generously floured surface, kneading to bring together. Cut the dough into 8 pieces, about 3 1/2 ounces each. Gently form each piece into a ball, incorporating more flour as needed so the dough is no longer sticky but still pliable. Use your hands to flatten each ball to a 4 1/2-inch circle. Brush a piece of pepperoni with oil and place in the center of the circle, along with 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella. Fold the dough over the pepperoni, like a burrito, and place on the prepared baking sheets seam-side down. (It's ok if the filling is not fully encased at this point.) Repeat with the remaining pepperoni and cheese, placing the bundles on the baking sheets at least 1 inch apart to allow for a third rise. Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap and place in a warm place for 30 minutes. The rolls will puff up just a bit.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining oil and bake until the crust is crispy and golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Roll dough out to 9 x 12 rectangle.
• Combine all seasonings and margarine and brush lightly on dough (save some for top of bread).
• Arrange pepperoni on top and cover with cheese.
• Rollup like a jelly roll very tightly to look like a loaf of french bread.
• Place seam on bottom, brush top with remaining butter mixture.
• Bake at 350 for 30 mins on cookie sheet. Cool 15 minutes before cutting.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease a 10-inch (25 cm) bundt pan with nonstick spray.
• Tear a biscuit in half and flatten to approximately 2 inches (5 cm) wide. Top with ½ teaspoon marinara sauce, 2 slices of pepperoni, and 1 teaspoon mozzarella. Pinch the dough together, sealing the fillings inside, and roll into a ball. Repeat until all of the dough is filled.
• Arrange a layer of pizza balls in the prepared bundt pan and top with ⅓ of the remaining mozzarella.
• In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
• Drizzle some of the olive oil mixture over the pizza balls. Continue layering the remaining pizza balls, mozzarella, and more of the olive oil mixture, reserving about 2 tablespoons for brushing.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the biscuit dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling between the pizza balls. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.
• Brush the remaining olive oil mixture all over the monkey bread. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top. Warm the remaining marinara sauce and serve alongside for dipping.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Put flour, sugar, salt, yeast and butter into container of food processor. Start blending while gradually adding water. Blend until dough leaves sides of container. Blend about 15 seconds longer.
• Turn out dough onto lightly floured board and make a well in the center. Put pepperoni in well. Knead a few seconds until pepperoni is blended into dough. Shape dough into ball and place in lightly floured mixing bowl. Cover with clean cloth. Place in warm (not hot) draft-free place and let stand until double in bulk, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Turn out dough onto lightly floured board and knead. Shape into an oval and place in a lightly greased six-cup loaf pan. Cover with clean cloth and let stand until doubled, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Using razor, cut thin gash lengthwise over top of loaf. Place in oven and bake 35 to 45 minutes.
• Unmold and let cool on a rack

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.
