Instructions
1
Add the warm water, light olive oil, bread flour, sugar, salt, garlic powder, minced dried onion, dried basil, shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, chopped pepperoni, and bread machine yeast into the bread machine pan in the order specified by the manufacturer.
2
Adjust the quantities of garlic and onion according to your taste preferences.
3
Ensure the salt does not come into direct contact with the yeast in the bread machine.
4
For bread machine completion: Select the 'White Bread' setting and press start to bake the loaf entirely in the machine.
5
For the oven-baked version, which often results in a higher loaf with improved texture: Select the 'Dough' cycle, and press start.
6
Once the dough cycle is complete, turn the dough onto a floured surface and punch it down gently to remove air bubbles.
7
Shape the dough into a rectangle, ensuring bubbles are minimized.
8
Roll the rectangle tightly into a log, place it seam-side down and tuck the ends underneath.
9
Grease a loaf pan lightly with olive oil. Place the dough in the pan; cover loosely with plastic wrap sprayed with nonstick spray.
10
Let the dough rise in a warm environment for about 45 minutes, or until the loaf has doubled in size.
11
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
12
Bake the bread for approximately 30 minutes. The bread is done if the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
13
Immediately remove the bread from the loaf pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing.
