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.

How to Make Pepperoni Bread

Combine flour, yeast, oregano and garlic powder.
In saucepan, heat water, butter, sugar and salt just until water is warm, stirring to melt butter.
Add to dry mixture in mixing bowl.
Beat at low speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl constantly.
Beat at high speed for 3 minutes.
By hand, stir in pepperoni and enough remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough.
Cover, let rise in warm place until double. Stir dough down.
Spread evenly in greased bread pan.
Let rise until double.
Bake.
Remove from pan: cool on rack.
Makes 1 loaf.
