  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or corn meal
  • 1/4 pound sliced pepperoni, about 24 slices
  • 6 slices provolone, deli sliced
  • 6 slices Italian hot ham
  • 8 slices Genoa salami
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. Break open the tube of dough and remove it from container. Dust your hands and lightly coat the dough with flour or cornmeal the roll out onto work surface. Stretch out dough, gently spreading out the rectangle shape it has been formed into already. Cut the thin rectangular dough into 4 equal pieces, working across the dough: cut it in half and cut each half in half again. Cover each piece of dough with: 6 slices pepperoni, 1 1/2 slices cheese, 1 1/2 slices hot ham and 2 slices Genoa salami. Roll each piece on an angle from corner to corner making a long roll that is thicker in the middle and thinner on each end. Brush rolls with extra-virgin olive oil then mix sesame seeds, cheese and seasonings in a small cup, sprinkle and pat the mixture into the dough. Bake until evenly golden, 12 to 14 minutes then serve. If desired, serve with Dipping Sauce.
