This Pizza Batter Bread features chopped pepperoni and is a great addition to a pasta meal like spaghetti or lasagna. This yeast bread has several steps but it’s definitely worth the effort.
I decided to mix up a loaf of Pizza Batter Bread from the local extension homemaker cookbook. This cookbook features recipes from local women and 4-H members and I have had great luck with the recipes I’ve made before. This one was no exception, two thumbs up from the family.

I didn’t snap many photos of the dough in process…but I did get this one of the dry ingredients…flour, spices and yeast. The next photo is the “soft dough” before I set it in a warm place to rise. Once it doubled in size, I stirred it and placed it in a bread pan to double in size again before baking.

Can you convert this pizza bread to a bread machine bread? I just received a bread machine and would love to try it.
Sorry, we don’t have a bread maker so we can’t convert it for you.
