Ingredients
- 1 cup water (heated to 110°F)
- 2 ¼ tsp instant dry yeast
- 2 tsp honey
- 1½ tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 2½-3 cups all purpose flour
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella
- 6 ounce package of pepperoni
- marinara sauce for dipping, if desired
Instructions
-
Add warm water to the bowl of the stand mixer with the dough hook attachment. Add in yeast and honey. Stir and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
-
Add 2 cups of flour, salt, and oil. Mix to combine, 3-4 minutes on low speed. Slowly add remaining 1/2-1 cup of flour or until a smooth ball forms that pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.
-
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rest for 1 hour.
-
Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll dough into a rectangle roughly 14'' x 22''. Spread with the shredded mozzarella, then top with the pepperoni.
-
Starting from the longer side, roll into a log then place on a greased baking sheet. With a very sharp knife score the top of the bread to release the steam as it bakes.
-
Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown on the outside.
-
Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy!
