Pepperoni Bread Pizza
Pepperoni Bread Pizza features rolled bread dough layered with mozzarella, pepperoni, and butter, baked to golden perfection and served with dipping sauces.
Servings
Ingredients
- 1 loaf frozen bread dough thawed (white or wheat)
- 8 ounces pepperoni sliced
- 2 cups fresh mozzarella cheese shredded
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ⅓ to ½ cup all-purpose flour for rolling the dough
Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll Out the Dough
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the thawed bread dough to approximately ¼ inch thickness. Form into a rectangle or oval, depending on preference. Sprinkle evenly with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Add the Pepperoni
- Arrange a layer of pepperoni slices over the cheese, ensuring the surface of the dough is fully covered.
Shape the Bread
- Beginning with the long edge nearest to you, roll the dough tightly into a log. Carefully transfer the rolled log to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush with Butter
- Coat the surface of the dough evenly with melted butter for a golden finish.
Bake
- Place on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the dough is fully cooked and golden brown. Ensure the center is thoroughly baked.
Serve
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve arranged on a platter with dipping sauces such as marinara, Italian dressing, sour cream, or melted cheese.
Notes
To prepare a gluten-free Pepperoni Bread Pizza, substitute the frozen bread dough with a certified gluten-free dough. Confirm that the pepperoni and all optional sauces used are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
