3 cups bread flour

2 tablespoons powdered milk

2 tablespoons white sugar

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup chopped pepperoni

Preparation

Place ingredients in bread machine pan in the order suggested by the machine's manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Start.

To bake bread in oven, select dough or manual cycle. Once cycle is complete, shape dough and place in a greased loaf pan. Allow to rise in a warm spot until doubled in size.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf reads 200 degrees.

This recipe yields a 1 1/2 pound loaf.

Comments: This is a great treat! Very different from the usual bread-machine breads! It is perfect served fresh and warm or toasted and then broiled with a little mozzarella cheese.

Yield: 1 loaf
