-
In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, place the flour, powdered buttermilk, baking powder, salt, corn starch, and sugar and mix together until well blended, and set aside.
-
Place the warm water, Olive oil, and Yeast, and about 1 cup of the dry ingredients in a small bowl, and stir to combine. It may be a little lumpy, but that's okay.
-
Set the yeast mixture aside for about 30 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly, and fragrant with the yeast.
-
At that time, add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients, and mix at medium/medium high for about 5 minutes, with the paddle attachment. The dough will be thick and a little sticky, but that's okay.
-
Cover the bowl, and let the dough rise for 45 minutes.
-
Set the oven to 375, and grease a 9 X 13 dish.
-
Oil your fingers, and move the dough into the 9 X 13 dish, pressing the dough out to the edges of the dish.
-
Leave the dough for about 10 minutes, and then sprinkle the top with the Italian seasoning.
-
Place the pepperoni slices over the top of the bread, and sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack cheese on top of the pepperoni.
-
Place the dish in the oven, and bake for 25 - 30 minutes, or until the top springs back when touched.
-
Remove the bread from the oven, and place the bread onto a parchment paper lined wire rack to cool, removing it from the dish.
-
The bottom of the bread will be golden and crunchy.
-
The top will be gooey with melted cheese and seasonings.
-
Let the bread cool a bit, and then cut into generous pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy!
