PEPPERONI BREAD 
DOUGH:

1/2 c. warm water
1 pkg. fast-rising yeast
1 1/4 c. water
1/4 c. oil
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
5 c. flour (4 c. with 1 c. to be added as you need it)

FILLING:

1 lb. sandwich pepperoni, chopped into strips
10 to 12 oz. Mozzarella cheese
1/4 c. chopped onion
1/4 c. green pepper, chopped

To make dough, in a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add sugar, salt, 1 1/4 cup water, and oil. Mix well. Add enough flour to make soft dough. Cover and let rise for 15 minutes.

FOR FILLING: Fry pepperoni a few minutes and drain. Shred the cheese.

TO MAKE LOAVES: Divide dough into two. Roll out first ball on a floured surface to approximately 12 inches long by 8 inches wide. Sprinkle with a capful of oil, oregano, parsley and garlic powder. Top with half of pepperoni, cheese, green pepper and onion.

Starting with long end, roll up like a nut roll. Repeat to make second loaf. Put on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes or until light brown. Makes 2 long rolls. Can be frozen and used later.
