3 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 pkg. Fleischmann's Rapid Rise Yeast
1 tbsp. butter, softened
1/3 c. pizza sauce
1 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese
2 oz. sliced pepperoni
1 egg white, beaten

Set aside 1 cup flour. Mix remaining flour, salt, Italian seasoning and yeast. Stir in hot water and butter. Mix in enough reserved flour to make soft dough. Knead 4 minutes.

Roll dough to 16x6 inches. Spread sauce on center of length. Top with cheese and pepperoni. Seal long edges over filling; seal ends. Shape into crescent on greased baking sheet; cover. Place sheet over large shallow pan of boiling water; let dough rise 15 to 20 minutes.

Make several slashes on top. Brush with egg white. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until done. Cool slightly; serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers; reheat to serve. Makes 1 loaf.

Your favorite pizza toppings may also be added to filling.
