Pepperoni Pizza Quick Bread - Moist and flavored with cheddar cheese and mini pepperonis! Don't forget the marinara sauce!
Who else starts to crave carbs and cheese at the end-of-summer? Oh, I do, and I am going through this phase right now. Not complaining one bit, especially with it being football time! I think I may look forward to the food more than the games. And this pepperoni pizza quick bread fits the bill!
It's quick compared to other bread recipes. This one doesn't use yeast, so it doesn't have to rise. You can have delicious, flavorful pizza bread in one hour. No need to allow the bread to completely cool, just grab the marinara sauce!
Not sure about which marinara sauce to grab? I highly recommend Mezzetta Napa Valley Homemade Marinara Sauce. It's seriously the best marinara ever. No weird ingredients, real food. The marinara sauce is made from 100% hand-selected plum tomatoes. No added sugar. No added tomato paste.
Now let's get to the good part! #FallForFlavor
