Savory Cheese and Pepperoni Bread: A Deliciously Cheesy Snack

This bread is best served fresh, straight from the oven, while the cheese is still warm and gooey.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, warm slices in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, or in the microwave for a few seconds.
For meal prep, you can also freeze individual slices. Wrap each slice in plastic wrap or foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven for a quick snack later on!
Variants:

Veggie Option: Swap the pepperoni for sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for a vegetarian version.
Spicy Pepperoni Bread: Add some crushed red pepper flakes to the filling or use spicy pepperoni for an extra kick.
Cheese Lover’s Bread: Add extra cheese varieties, like cheddar, gouda, or provolone, for a richer, cheesier experience.
