Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup Freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 cup Chopped sweet red pepper
  • 1/3 cup Chopped green onion
  • 2 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 2 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1/3 cup Vegetable oil
  • 1 large Egg
  • 12 slices Thin slices pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or butter.
  2. 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. 3
    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and egg until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. 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. 5
    Pour the batter into the prepared 9-inch round cake pan, spreading it evenly to the edges.
  6. 6
    Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the top of the batter, then sprinkle with the remaining red pepper and shredded mozzarella cheese.
  7. 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. 8
    Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
