Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Broccoli florets (small, steamed and chopped)
• 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices
• 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup Crumbled feta cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 unit Egg (beaten, for brushing)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle (about 14x10 inches) on a floured surface.

Step 7

Sprinkle the dough evenly with the broccoli, pepperoni, mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, and feta cheeses, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 8

Sprinkle the garlic powder and Italian seasoning over the filling.

Step 9

Starting from one of the longer edges, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam and ends to seal.

Step 10

Place the rolled dough seam-side-down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with the beaten egg and, if desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, make a few shallow cuts across the top of the bread to allow steam to escape.

Step 12

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 13

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy your Four Cheese Broccoli and Pepperoni Bread!
