Pepperoni Bread Lesson From My Sister Bubs
Pepperoni bread is a New Jersey staple. And if there is one person who makes the very best pepperoni bread in my family, if not all of New Jersey, it’s my sister Barbara.
My sister Barbara whom I affectionately call my “bubala” or Bubs for short. Bubs and I are twelve years apart, so I was very much the proud older sister when we were growing up. Just take a look at this picture and you will understand.
Cute doesn’t begin to describe her as a kid: Extremely beautiful is how I’d describe her now that she’s all grown up. Besides having a great marriage, being a wonderful mom to three beautiful girls, an accomplished interior decorator, Bubs has perfected the art of making pepperoni bread.
The ingredients are simple premade pizza dough, one pound of sliced provolone and half a pound sliced pepperoni (try to get the larger type) Bubs gets hers from the deli. Here is my younger sister Barbara making her pepperoni bread.

I totally agree with you, Greg the holidays are about family. I’m not as good as my sister but I would love to make you some.

That looks like DINNER to me! With a big green salad, and maybe some cake for dessert. What do you think? I love your fam, and the best quote: “I’m not big on technique” yet she IS! She is very specific about how to make it correctly.
Love every little thing about this, including the kids and the hubs: “Whaddya do different?”

I just love how this turned out. My sister’s the best.
Beatrice Lyness says

Our family and the Hansen family have been making this for years when the boys were little. The best.
Christina @ Christina's Cucina says
I can so see the resemblance between you both! How nice to spend time with your family. I could do some damage in your sister’s kitchen, btw! 😉
judylyness says
My sister designed that kitchen and it’s the very best to work in. I will tell her.
