Pepperoni Cheese Bread

The Superbowl is this weekend. Will you be watching? Or will you be watching the commercials? I suggested we should have a Superbowl party and my husband said not this year. I think if it was his team then it would be sure but it is only my favorite team playing. Either way, we always watch it. I was thinking about some typical football foods like wings, nachos, pizza, etc and decided to make this bread. My oldest daughter taught me how to make this delicious bread. It is like pizza in a bread with no sauce. If you miss the sauce so much, you can always use it as a dipping sauce. I think this is the type of food to share in a group to make sure I'm not the only one eating it all.

Pepperoni Cheese Bread
1 pizza dough
6  Tbsp softened unsalted butter
1 Tbsp oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
6 oz. Mozzarella cheese
30 pepperoni slices

Directions:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. 
   
2. Roll out the pizza dough into a long rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
3. In a small bowl, mix the butter, oregano, garlic powder, and salt.
4. Spread the butter mixture over the dough.
5. Cover the butter mixture with the cheese.
6. On top of the cheese, place the pepperoni. The pepperoni should be slightly overlapping.
7. Roll each side of the dough into the center of the dough to form a long strip. Place the seam underneath the dough.
8. Take one end of the dough and roll the dough into the side of the dough towards the other end to form a large circle. The dough should not be lifted off the counter. 
9. Carefully, transport the circle to the parchment paper. 
10. Allow the dough to rise for 30 minutes.
11. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
12. Bake the bread for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
13. Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.
