PEPPERONI BREAD

Steps:

• Add warm water to the bowl of the stand mixer with the dough hook attachment. Add in yeast and honey. Stir and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
• Add 2 cups of flour, salt, and oil. Mix to combine, 3-4 minutes on low speed. Slowly add remaining 1/2-1 cup of flour or until a smooth ball forms that pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rest for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll dough into a rectangle roughly 14'' x 22''. Spread with the shredded mozzarella, then top with the pepperoni.
• Starting from the longer side, roll into a log then place on a greased baking sheet. With a very sharp knife score the top of the bread to release the steam as it bakes.
• Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown on the outside.
• Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy!

PEPPERONI ROLL

Steps:

• For the dough: Combine the flour, salt and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Stir to combine, then add 1 cup water. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together into a rough ball. Continue mixing at medium-low speed until the dough forms a smooth, silky ball, about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a tight ball, set in the bottom of the mixer bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until the dough has roughly doubled in size, about an hour.
• For the pepperoni roll: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roll the dough out into a rectangle 1/4 inch thick. If the dough isn't stretching well, cover and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, then stretch again.
• Leaving a 1/2-inch border, cover the dough with the sliced pepperoni. Cover the pepperoni with the mozzarella. Fold over the outside edges of the dough and roll up lengthwise like a jelly roll.
• Transfer the roll to the baking sheet, seam-side down. Make 6 shallow cuts on an angle on the top of the roll. Brush with the oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
