My Aunt Jody’s pepperoni bread was always a favorite at every holiday dinner. It’s simple, easy and incredibly delicious. This is a classic “no measurements, to taste” recipe.

Preheat Oven: 350 degrees

Ingredients:

Frozen bread dough

non-stick cooking spray

seasonings – garlic powder, season salt, oregano, parsley

Sliced pepperoni

Mozzarella cheese

Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Frozen Bread Dough (Rhode’s or Rich’s)
2. Defrost frozen bread dough in microwave until squeezable (3 loaves take about 6 minutes)
3. Spray loaf pan(s) with non-stick cooking spray
4. Place defrosted loaf(ves) in pan, cover and let raise 1 to 1 1/2 inches
5. Take loaf out of pan, roll into circle (no flour!) until pizza dough thick

Then:

1. Melt 1 stick butter and add (to taste) season salt, oregano, parsley, garlic powder
2. Spread on dough (about 4-5 TBSP) 1/4 inch from edge
3. Add sliced pepperoni so they touch each other
4. Add mozzarella and parmesan cheese to taste (how cheesy do you want it?)
5. Roll side to side only
6. Invert ends with finger (like a belly button my aunt said)
7. Place onto a cookie sheet by edges and place the seam at the bottom.

Bake:

350 degrees for 20 minutes

My aunt’s notes: 1 pound of pepperoni makes about 5 loaves

It’s great frozen and reheated too!
