Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 1/3 cup of the chopped sweet red pepper, chopped green onions, baking powder, dried oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and egg until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spoon or spatula just until the flour is moistened; do not overmix, as this can make the bread tough.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared 9-inch round cake pan, spreading it evenly to the edges.
  6. Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the top of the batter, then sprinkle with the remaining red pepper and shredded mozzarella cheese.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a wooden tester inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
