Directions
-
Prepare the Basic Pizza Dough according to package or recipe instructions and allow it to rise until doubled in size.
-
Heat oven to 400ðF (200ðC). Lightly dust a jelly-roll pan with cornmeal.
-
On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the pizza dough into an 18-by-12-inch rectangle.
-
Spread the sliced provolone cheese evenly over the dough rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border around all edges.
-
Scatter the chopped pepperoni, salami, and roasted red peppers evenly over the cheese.
-
Starting at one short edge, carefully roll up the dough in a jelly-roll fashion.
-
Secure the ends and the remaining short edge by squeezing the dough together firmly with your fingers to seal.
-
Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared jelly-roll pan.
-
Brush the top of the roll with olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano.
-
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the roll is golden brown and cooked through.
-
Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Note
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350ðF oven for 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
Variations: For a vegetarian version, omit the pepperoni and salami and add extra roasted vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini.
Tips: If using store-bought pizza dough, let it come to room temperature before rolling to prevent tearing.
Safety: Ensure the internal temperature of the meat reaches safe levels, though pre-cooked cured meats like pepperoni and salami are generally safe to eat cold, heating them through improves flavor and texture.
