"This chewy bread, flecked with spicy pepperoni, is a favorite no matter where I take it," reports Annette Self of Junction City, Ohio. "I often use slices of it to make garlic bread when I serve Italian meals," she adds.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons water (70° to 80°)
  • 1/3 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 3-1/4 cups bread flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2/3 cup finely chopped pepperoni

Directions

  1. In bread machine pan, place the first seven ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose medium crust color and loaf size if available.
  2. Bake according to bread machine directions (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed). Just before the final kneading (your machine may audibly signal this), add the pepperoni.
