Ingredients
  • 1 batch Basic Pizza Dough
  • 1/4 pound Sliced provolone cheese
  • 1/8 pound Sliced pepperoni, coarsely chopped
  • 1/8 pound Sliced salami, coarsely chopped
  • 1 7-oz jar Roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon Dried oregano leaves
  • 1 tablespoon Cornmeal, for dusting
Directions
  1. 1
    Prepare the Basic Pizza Dough according to package or recipe instructions and allow it to rise until doubled in size.
  2. 2
    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.
  5. 5
    Scatter the chopped pepperoni, salami, and roasted red peppers evenly over the cheese.
  6. 6
    Starting at one short edge, carefully roll up the dough in a jelly-roll fashion.
  7. 7
    Secure the ends and the remaining short edge by squeezing the dough together firmly with your fingers to seal.
  8. 8
    Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared jelly-roll pan.
  9. 9
    Brush the top of the roll with olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano.
  10. 10
    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.
