Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 pound sliced pepperoni
  • 1/4 pound sliced salami
  • 1/4 pound sliced deli ham
  • 1 egg beaten, for egg wash
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll the dough: On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll your dough into a large rectangle, about 10 by 14 inches.
  3. Add the sauce: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around all the edges.
  4. Layer the fillings: Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and Parmesan over the sauce. Evenly layer the pepperoni, salami, and ham. Top with the remaining cheese.
  5. Roll it up: Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seams and tuck the ends underneath to seal the contents.
  6. Prep for baking: Transfer the roll to your prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Brush the entire surface with the beaten egg wash. Cut 3 or 4 small slits across the top to let steam escape. Sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder.
  7. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the crust is a deep golden brown. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
