Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Sliced pepperoni, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water, milk, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Stir well to create a smooth batter.

Step 3

Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped pepperoni, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. If using, also fold in the grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Step 4

Transfer the batter to a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 5

Cover the loaf pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rise for about 20 minutes in a warm, draft-free area until slightly puffed.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during the last 10 minutes of the rising time.

Step 7

Once risen, bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as-is or with your favorite dipping sauce!
