Hydrate the Yeast:

Prepare the Sauce:

In a medium bowl, combine the cheese cream, grated mozzarella, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and chopped pepperoni salami. Mix well and set aside.

Shape and Second Rise:

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a round loaf. Place it in a greased 23 cm (9 in) baking tray. Cover and let it rise again for 20 minutes.
