Ingredients
→ Dough & Fillings
1 loaf (16 oz) bread dough, thawed according to package directions or homemade pizza dough
1/4 lb thinly sliced ham
1/4 lb pepperoni or hard salami
1/4 lb salami (optional)
1/2 tsp dried basil, divided
1/2 tsp dried oregano, divided
1/4 lb thinly sliced provolone cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp cornmeal (optional)
Steps
Place bread dough on a lightly greased baking sheet. Pat into a 15 x 10-inch rectangle.
Layer ham slices lengthwise down the center of the dough. Add pepperoni on top, followed by salami if using. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon dried basil and 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano.
Place the provolone cheese slices over the herbs and top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle the remaining basil and oregano over the cheese.
Moisten all edges of the dough with water. Bring the long edges of the dough to the center and press securely to seal. Seal both ends as well.
Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of melted butter and sprinkle with cornmeal if using. Carefully invert the dough so that the seam side faces down. Brush the top with the remaining melted butter.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-22 minutes, or until browned.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Slice horizontally with a serrated knife. For smaller portions, cut vertically down the center first, then slice horizontally.
Tips
- Ensure edges of the dough are sealed tightly to prevent filling leakage during baking.
