Okay this isn't a great picture, but at least it tasted good. I got this recipe from my sister-in-law. It calls for the dough to be made in a bread maker. I used one the first time I made this and it turned out great. After that mom's bread maker, that she told me I could borrow, died. Don't tell mom. So this time I just mixed the dough up in my Kitchen Aid mixer and it worked just fine. So you can do it either way.
Ingredients:
1/3 C Butter, margarine or oil
1 Egg
12 ounces warm, not hot, water
4 1/4 C Flour
1/2 C Milk
3 T Sugar
1 1/2 t Salt
3 tsp Yeast
Pepperoni
Cheese
Add the first three ingredients to the bread machine pan. Then add the dry ingredients. Set the bread machine at the dough cycle and push start. This cycle usually last 90 minutes to 2 hours. (I just mixed everything up in my mixer and let it rise for about 90 minutes.)
Divide the dough in half. Roll the half portion into a large rectangle. Cover the middle third of the dough with pepperoni slices and cheese. Be generous. Fold one side of the dough over the pepperoni slices and cheese. Now repeat, placing a second layer of pepperoni and cheese on top. Fold the other side of the dough over the top and pinch the ends and edges closed. You can use a knife to cut the top of the loaf to make it look like french bread. Repeat with the second half of the dough.
Allow loaves to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. Brush loaves with a whole beaten egg and bake for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
This makes a lot. To give you an idea, I followed this recipe exactly, added a couple salads and fed 8 adults and 2 children.
