Bread, glorious bread! You may not be excited but any time I get homemade bread to turn out as great as this I am one happy guy! It helped a lot that the dough for this bread machine garlic herb pepperoni bread was about as foolproof as you can get. I need foolproof when it comes to bread. I need a bread machine to make sure I don’t make a big mess of it. My attempts at from-scratch bread are something to behold. Or hide. That’s why I have a bread machine.
That Wonderful Aroma… And Flavor
The house filled with a wonderful aroma as the bread baked. I love the smell of fresh-baked bread. And pepperoni.
The right combination of Italian flavors, bread machine garlic herb pepperoni bread also has the perfect texture, color, crust, flavor… you name it. I thought about adding more chopped pepperoni, but I think I was right in not doing that. You want every bite to be filled with all of the flavors and not over-powered by just one.
I’d make this again in a heartbeat! Also try my bread machine jalapeno cheese bread and my Italian herb bread.
