Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Bread flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.75 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.75 cup Sliced pepperoni, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Add the warm water, olive oil, granulated sugar, and salt to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

Step 2

Add the bread flour to the pan, ensuring it completely covers the liquid ingredients below.

Step 3

Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the instant yeast to the well.

Step 4

Set the bread machine to the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' cycle, with a medium crust setting if possible.

Step 5

Once the machine starts kneading, after about 5-7 minutes, check the dough consistency. It should form a smooth ball. If it is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time. If too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.

Step 6

When the bread machine beeps for 'add-ins' (usually during the kneading process), add the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped pepperoni, dried Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.

Step 7

Let the bread machine continue to knead, rise, and bake according to the chosen cycle settings.

Step 8

Once the bread is finished baking, carefully remove it from the bread machine pan and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. This bread pairs well with marinara sauce for dipping!
