Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Chopped pepperoni
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy to activate the yeast.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Step 3

Mix until a sticky dough forms, then transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning evenly over the dough.

Step 7

Roll the dough tightly from one long edge to the other, tucking the ends under to form a loaf.

Step 8

Place the rolled loaf onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and allow it to rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

Step 11

Brush the egg wash evenly over the surface of the dough to create a golden crust during baking.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Allow the bread to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
