Ingredients

• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 3 cups Bread flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices, chopped
• 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Step 1

Add the water, olive oil, sugar, salt, garlic powder, dried basil, and dried oregano to the bread machine pan.

Step 2

Add the bread flour next, ensuring it completely covers the liquid ingredients to prevent premature yeast activation.

Step 3

Form a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Do not let the yeast touch the liquid yet.

Step 4

Set the bread machine to the basic or white bread cycle, with a medium crust setting, and start the machine.

Step 5

Once the bread machine beeps for additional ingredients (typically about 30 minutes into the kneading cycle), add the chopped pepperoni slices and shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 6

Let the bread machine complete its cycle, including kneading, rising, and baking. Avoid opening the lid during this time to maintain even temperatures.

Step 7

When the bread is finished, carefully remove it from the bread machine pan and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Serve warm for the best flavor, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
