Cheesy Pepperoni Butter Toast Food

EASY CHEESY PEPPERONI BREAD

Steps:

• Heat milk and butter to 120°F Combine half of flour, yeast, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and pepperoni into a large bowl. Add milk and butter mixture.
• Knead for 3 minutes. Add the rest of the flour in 1/2 cup portions, kneading between each. If the dough seems too sticky, slowly add more flour until the stickiness is corrected.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, and spray the top of the dough with cooking spray. Cover and let rise for one hour.
• Punch the dough down and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Form dough into a greased 9x5 loaf pan. (I like to use real butter to grease the pan. It gives the crust a great flavor.) Cover the pan with plastic wrap and allow to rise for about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F Bake loaves for 10 minutes; then turn oven down to 350F and bake for 30-35 minutes longer, until the breads are browned. Optional: add a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese to the top of the loaf when it has about 10 minutes left baking.
• Allow bread to cool in pans for about 10 minutes, or until pans are cool enough to touch. Place loaf onto a wire rack and allow to cool for an additional 10-15 minutes so that the bread is cool enough to cut. Enjoy!

CHEESY PEPPERONI BUNS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes, breaking into crumbles; drain. Stir in pizza sauce, pepperoni and American cheese. Cook and stir until cheese is melted, 4-5 minutes., Place buns on a baking sheet, cut sides up. Spoon meat mixture onto buns; top with mozzarella cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. If desired, serve with additional warmed pizza sauce.

CHEESY TOMATO TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Place the bread on a baking sheet and broil until lightly golden on both sides.
• Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil with the garlic and basil in a small bowl; brush evenly on the toasted bread. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper; arrange a layer of tomatoes on each bread slice. Chop any remaining tomato slices and set aside for the salad. Top the bread evenly with the gruyere, mozzarella and parmesan. Return to the broiler and cook until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes.
• Whisk the vinegar and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add the greens and the reserved chopped tomatoes and toss. Serve the cheese toast with the salad and chips.

SWEET BUTTER TOASTS

Steps:

• Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, if desired. Melt the butter on a heavy griddle over medium heat. Coat both sides of the bread slices with the melted butter on the grill and arrange on grill. Sprinkle with sugar. Once bread has nice grill marks, about 2 minutes, flip over and grill the sugared side for 2 minutes until caramelized. Transfer the toasts to a plate, sugar side up. Cool slightly, then cut diagonally in half. Eat toasts sugared side down.
