Easy Pepperoni Bread recipe

1 servings

1 (1 pound) loaf frozen bread dough

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tablespoon dried basil leaves

1/2 tablespoon dried minced onion flakes

1/2 tablespoon dried oregano

1 (8 ounce) package sliced pepperoni sausage

1 (6 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese

1 egg, lightly beaten

Allow frozen bread dough to thaw approximately 8 hours, or overnight, in the refrigerator.

Place dough in a large, lightly greased bowl.

Place bowl in a warm location, and allow dough to rise until doubled (2 to 3 hours).

Punch down dough.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

On a lightly greased, large baking sheet, roll dough into an approximately 12x18 inch rectangle.

Brush dough lightly with olive oil.

Sprinkle with basil, onion flakes and oregano.

Layer with pepperoni to within a half inch of the edges.

Top with mozzarella cheese.

Beginning with the longest edge, roll dough into a thin cylinder and seal seam.

Glaze with egg.

Bake in the preheated oven 35 minutes, or until golden brown.

Cut into bite sized pieces to serve.
