Ingredients
Scale
- 1 whole egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 6 oz pepperoni (chopped, thin slices preferred)
- 2 cups shredded cheese (50% Mozzarella, 50% Provolone)
- 1 teaspoon oregano or Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for brushing)
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste (or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, beat the whole egg and egg yolk together. Add the milk, sugar, and vegetable oil, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped pepperoni, shredded cheese, oregano (or Italian seasoning), and garlic if you’re using it.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. If desired, melt the butter and brush it on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve warm for the best experience!
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding grated Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
