1 pkg. active dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water (115º)
2 Tbs. sugar
2 Tbs. vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
2 1/2 - 2 3/4 cup flour
6 - 8 oz. sliced pepperoni
1/2 lb. mozzarella cheese, grated
1 egg, beaten
cornmeal
Preheat oven to 375º. Dissolve
yeast in water. Add sugar, oil, salt and egg. Stir in 1 cup
flour until smooth. Cover with cloth and let rise for 15
minutes. Stir down batter, and add 1 1/2 cups flour.
Stir until mixed, then turn out onto floured surface. Knead 3
minutes. If sticky, add flour as you knead. Roll out dough
into a rectangle 1/2" thick. Spread beaten egg over top of
dough (save some to brush on top of the loaf.) Sprinkle with
grated mozzarella cheese. Place slices of pepperoni on top of the
cheese layer. Carefully roll dough lengthwise into log.
Place on greased cookie sheet which is dusted sparingly with
cornmeal. Spread reserved beaten egg on top of loaf for a glazed
top. Bake in pre-heated oven until golden brown for 45 minutes to
1 hour.
