In Greensboro, North Carolina, Chrystie Wear whips up homemade bread in her bread maker for this tasty filled pizza. “For variation, add veggies to the filling or make it a Rueben with salad dressing, corned beef, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese,” recommends Chrystie.

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups water (70° to 80°)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups bread flour
3 teaspoons active dry yeast
FILLING:
3/4 cup pizza sauce
1 package (3-1/2 ounces) sliced pepperoni
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon water

Directions

In bread machine pan, place the first eight ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1-2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed). When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 15x12-in. rectangle. Place on a greased baking sheet.
Spread pizza sauce in a 3-in.-wide strip lengthwise down the center of dough to within 2 in. of ends. Arrange pepperoni over sauce; sprinkle with cheeses. On each long side, cut 1-in.-wide strips about 2-1/2 in. into center. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle across filling. Pinch ends to seal.
Beat egg white and water; brush over dough. Bake at 425° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

Editor's Note

We recommend you do not use a bread machine's time-delay feature for this recipe.

This dough was nice and soft, great texture. Te only thing I might do different the next time is make two loafs, this makes a large loaf, just a little two much bread to filling, or maybe spread filling all over dough and roll up like pizza roll loaf.
