Pepperoni Bread. And So Much More.
This is another recipe that allows for LOTS of variation. The pepperoni bread recipe came to the Ott family sometime in the decadant days of the early Reagan Administration, by way of family friend JoAnn Rich. The basic preparation:

1. Roll out a loaf of defrosted frozen bread dough (you can also use homemade dough, and the bread will be even better) until it's about the size of a large pizza
2. Place pepperoni slices over the entire bread surface
3. Shred enough mozzerella cheese to cover the pepperoni
4. Working carefully from one side, slowly rolled up the loaf
5. Place on cookie tray and allow to rise (away from naughty cat) for about a half hour or so
6. Preheat oven to about 350
7. Cook bread for about 25 minutes, or until light brown
8. Allow to cool for a few minutes and then dig in (keeping it away from sneaky dog, if you're eating, say, in the living room, while entertaining)

Other Variations.
Using the technique outlined above, try using ham and provolone (I think provolone smells like feet), or bacon and cheddar, or bacon and a bit of cream of mushroom soup. If you'd prefer a little less meat, it's really good with mozzerella, parmesan, garlic and other herbs. Try feta and spinach (make sure you add some olive oil and garlic!)

It is also particularly delicious as Cinnamon Bread. Roll out, as above, and spread softened butter all over surface, and then cover that with brown sugar and cinnamon. Nuts or raisins, too, if you'd like. If you make the dough from scratch, be sure to add about a quarter to a half package of vanilla pudding...that makes the dough so nice!

The wonderful thing about the cinnamon preparation is that you can do other things with it once it's rolled up (sounds a bit perverted, I know). You can cut the uncooked loaf into slices and put them in a baking pan, to make cinnamon buns. You can cut the uncooked loaf into slices, twist each slice and press into a loaf pan for a "monkey bread" preparation.
