Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Quick Bread
Pizza night is always a happy night in our house and as I was rummaging through the refrigerator a few nights ago I saw a nice bag of pepperoni just begging to be used. Because we make pizza all the time, I was in the mood to mix things up a bit and this fun quick bread was just what I needed to jazz up the pizza we have so often. Now I just need to get my husband off my back about getting “all natural” low- fat pepperonis. 🙂 Baby steps hon.
I was quite shocked after I cut into this pizza bread to find distinct swirls of marinara and bits of pepperoni within the bread. I love the contrasting colors. Slice and serve with a fresh crisp salad. Enjoy!
Here’s your line-up of ingredients: my mistake, I left out a jar of Italian Seasoning from the above photo 🙂
How to Make The Best Pizza Bread
Add all ingredients–except the marinara–into the mixer in no particular order however, I started with the flour.
Cut each pepperoni into fourths 🙂
Pour half of the batter into a bread pan. The one I used measures 9x5x2 3/4-inches.
Add the rest of the batter over the marinara.
Time to bake, 350 degrees F. 45-55 minutes.
Let cool for 30 minutes, slice and EAT!
