I have a recipe of my grandmother’s for “pepperoni bread.” I want to make it. It calls for “frozen bread dough.” The stuff you can buy in the store from the frozen foods aisle. However, I have a bread machine and would like to make my own dough for this bread. Can I just use any old kind of homemade dough? Is there a difference between store-bought bread dough and homemade that will give my pepperoni bread a totally different quality? It’s made jelly-roll style, for reference. Are there any recipes that will work best to approximate this? Should I bite the bullet and buy the pre-made dough?
I ask because there’s a huge difference between the bread I make at home and the bread you get in the store. Consistency-wise and taste-wise, it’s very different. And I want to make some yummy pepperoni bread, grandma-style. Thanks!
