My family can eat an entire loaf of this bread as soon as it's out of the machine. Believe me, it doesn't stay on the counter long at ALL. Thank you for posting this delicious recipe!

It was great! I only had sliced pepperoni and I chopped it. The final result in the bread was tiny pepperoni flecks throughout vs the bigger pieces like the photo shows. The bread was tasty. I didn't have plain oregano so I used italian seasoning and it was really good. Initially I was worried that the pepperoni flavor would be strong but it wasn't. It was the perfect way to give the bread a little extra flavor. We served it hot with butter. Yum! This recipe is a keeper.
