Directions
-
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and softened margarine or butter. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture.
-
Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
-
Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 10x12 inch rectangle.
-
Sprinkle the provolone and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
-
Layer the diced salami and ham over the cheese, then sprinkle with coarsely ground black pepper.
-
Starting from the long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape. Pinch the seams and ends to seal securely.
-
Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Cut three small slits on top to allow steam to escape.
-
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190F (88C).
-
Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
