pepperoni bread
Whenever we travel with the kids I always take treats and snacks. I have found that over the years, as little ones become BIG ones that a bag of goldfish doesn't quite fill them up. So, I took a cue from my aunt who had 5 teenage boys that she travelled with and started bringing a few loaves of Pepperoni Bread. This recipe has become a staple for road trips. I also started a tradition a few years ago and I make a few loaves the day before school starts in the fall so that the kids have a little something special for the first day of school.
Recipe for Pepperoni Bread:
2 loaves of frozen bread dough thawed
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
2 cups pepperoni (pre-sliced)
2 egg whites for "wash"
Directions:
thaw bread dough overnight in the refrigerator or thaw on the counter for a few hrs. When it is cold, but not frozen, roll it out about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle the cheese and then pepperoni in the center. separate the egg white from the yolk and lightly beat the egg white. Use this as the glue on the edges. With a pastry brush, brush on the egg whites to seal the edges of the rolled up loaf and then brush the top. This will give it a nice golden brown crust. Let the loaves rise for 2 hours. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Let cool before you slice. Serve with marinara sauce or Pizza sauce. Refrigerate leftovers (we never have any!)
ENJOY!
just glorious....
I was cruising (fellow blogs) not State Street, and came across a beautiful and inspiring gem. Glorious Treats is a bounty of mouthwatering recipes sure to make any baker want to put on an apron and preheat the oven. I was particularly impressed with her recipe for zucchini bread. As I read it, it brought back memories of my grandmother's kitchen. They always had a bountiful zucchini harvest and bread was just one of the many ways we would eat our veggies! As we planted our variety of squash this year in the garden, I was hoping to harvest enough for my grandmothers bread...I might just try Glory's recipe also...As If that weren't enough, Artful Blogging magazine featured Glorious Treats in their Summer issue....Congrats!

packing heat...or packing for the heat
We are off to the magic Kingdom with the whole crew in the morning and then to Carlsbad, Ca.
A little peak into my bag...Don't judge, I sort of HAD to finish a new quilt for the beach. All that is left is some hand stitching, perfect for passing the time in the car. Did I mention we are taking 4 teenagers?!
Stay Classy San Diego...
I know random, but I am a big Ron Burgundy fan!
mary mary quite contrary....week 6
We had some unexpected but welcome rain this week. My dad used to call it "free fertilizer" I'll take it...We should be harvesting and eating juicy tomatoes in a week or two!
I added a few pictures of the "help". The peaches are going to be amazing. They are sharing their spot with some Scarlett Hollyhocks.
Hope your Summer is sunny and sweet!
