Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 375º. In large bowl combine cheese, bell pepper, onion, flour, ground beef, ketchup and garlic; mix well. Place bread dough, seam sides up, on cutting board. Using a bread knife, slice each loaf length wise, end to end, cutting halfway through to center of loaf; spread open flat. Lightly sprinkle additional flour evenly over dough (making sure to flour both sides first). Using a rolling pin, roll dough crosswise to a 4 in width, creating a well down center of each loaf. Spoon half of the pepperoni mixture down the center of each loaf. Gather up edges over filing, pinching firmly to seal. Place loaves, seam sides down, in an "X" pattern on either a cookie sheet with parchment or a rectangle cooking stone. Crisscross ends of dough to form a large figure "8," keeping ends of dough 1 inch from edge of stone and leaving two 1½ in openings in center of twist. Separate egg in small bowl (discard yolk or set aside for another use.) Beat egg white; lightly brush over dough. Using a bread knife, cut a 3 in slit in each of the top sections of twist to reveal filling. Grate parmesan cheese over loaf. Bake 30-32 minutes or until deep golden brown. Remove to cooling rack; cool for 10 minutes. Cut into 16 slices. Serve with ketchup and mustard for dipping, if desired. |
