This Pepperoni Bread combines the best of pizza and bread—crispy outside, cheesy inside, and packed with savory pepperoni flavor. Perfect for game day, parties, or an easy family dinner favorite!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound bread dough (fresh or thawed frozen)
- ¼ pound sliced deli pepperoni
- 8 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Marinara sauce for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a 12×10-inch rectangle.
- Layer pepperoni slices evenly over the dough, then top with mozzarella slices, leaving a ½-inch border.
- Tightly roll the dough from a long side into a log. Pinch seams and ends to seal.
- Place on prepared baking sheet seam-side down. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and Parmesan if desired.
- Bake 30–35 minutes, until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped. Internal temperature should reach 190°F (88°C).
- Cool 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with marinara sauce.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days. Freeze up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven for best texture. For a lighter version, use turkey pepperoni and part-skim mozzarella.
