Instructions: Combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, yeast, oregano and garlic powder in large mixing bowl. Combine water, butter, sugar and salt in a small saucepan and warm to 120-130 degrees stirring to melt butter. Gradually add water mixture to dry mixture mixing at low speed on the electric mixer. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. Stir in pepperoni and enough flour to make a soft dough.

Cover and let rise in a warm place. (85degrees) free from drafts, 45 minutes or until double in bulk.

Stir dough and spread evenly in a well greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise again until doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle top with parmesan cheese if desired. Bake 375 degree for 35 - 40 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove to wire rack.

*note - I seldom use the sugar. I have added grated cheeses to batter ie: mozzarella or gouda, etc. This can be baked in a ovenproof bowl.
