INGREDIENTS

  • Cooking Time: 35 minutes
  • Servings: Makes 1 loaf
  • Preparation Time: 2 hours total
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

DIRECTIONS

In a large mixer bowl combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, yeast, oregano and garlic. Set aside.


In another bowl, place pepperoni and cheeses. Mix ingredients until dry parmesan adheres to pepperoni so nothing sticks together, separating slices by hand where necessary.

Add to dry mixture in mixer bowl. Beat at low speed for 1/2 minute, scrapping sides of bowl constantly.


Beat 3 minutes at high speed.


Add remaining flour, mixing well.


By hand, fold in the pepperoni and cheeses.


Cover and let rise for 60 minutes.


Spread evenly in a greased 9x5 " loaf pan.


Let rise until doubled (about 30 minutes)


Bake in preheated oven at 375º for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from pan.

This bread rocks! I used the cheese I had on hand - cheddar and smoked mozzarella and added some fresh basil and it was awesome and highly addictive. Great warm and really good toasted the next day too.
