Ingredients
-
1 cup water, warm or room temp
-
1/4 cup light olive oil
-
3 cups bread flour
-
1 tablespoon sugar
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon dried basil
-
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
-
2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
-
1/2-1 tablespoon minced dried onion
-
1/4 cup pepperoni slice, chopped
Instructions
- Place the ingredients in the bread machine pan in the order listed or as recommended by your machine's manufacturer.
- You can adjust the garlic and onion to your preference.
- Don't let the salt touch the yeast.
- At this point you can either select White Bread and press Start to complete in the bread machine, or use the dough setting and finish in the oven.
- I prefer the oven method as it seems to result in a higher loaf with better texture.
- Directions for oven method: Select dough cycle and press start.
- When complete, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and punch down.
- Flatten out into a rectangle, patting to get out bubbles.
- Roll tightly into a log, turn seam side down, and tuck the ends under.
- Place into a loaf pan that has been lightly greased with olive oil, loosely cover with plastic wrap sprayed with nonstick spray, and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes or until doubled.
- Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until done (if the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, it's done).
- Immediately remove from loaf pan and cool on a wire rack at least 10-15 minutes before slicing.
