directions

  • Prepare Dough: In large bowl, stir yeast and sugar into 1/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F).
  • Let stand until yeast mixture foams, about 5 minutes.
  • With wooden spoon, stir in oil, salt, and 1 cup warm water.
  • Gradually add 3 1/2 cups flour, stirring until a stiff dough forms.
  • Turn dough onto floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 7 to 10 minutes, working in more flour (about 1/2 cup) while kneading.
  • Shape dough into a ball; place in greased large bowl, turning dough over to grease top.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place (80 to 85 degrees F) until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • (If making ahead, place covered bowl of unrisen dough in refrigerator for 24 hours to rise. When ready to use, follow recipe from Step 5 to complete.) Punch down dough.
  • Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; cover and let rest 15 minutes for easier shaping.
  • Grease large cookie sheet (17" by 14").
  • On lightly floured surface, with floured rolling pin, roll dough into a 16" by 12" rectangle.
  • Prepare Filling: Arrange cheese slices on dough up to 1/2 inch from edges, overlapping slices slightly if necessary.
  • Repeat with salami and ham.
  • Sprinkle with grated cheese.
  • From a long side, roll up dough jelly-roll fashion.
  • Pinch seam and ends to seal, and tuck ends under slightly.
  • Place loaf, seam side down, diagonally on cookie sheet.
  • Cover with greased plastic wrap; let rest 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In cup, with fork, beat egg slightly.
  • Brush loaf with egg.
  • With knife, make 5 long diagonal slashes in top of loaf, about 1/4-inch deep.
  • Bake loaf 30 to 35 minutes, until browned.
  • Loosen bottom of loaf with wide metal spatula and slide onto wire rack.
  • Cool slightly to serve warm, or cool completely to serve later.
  • To reheat, place on cookie sheet in preheated 375 degrees F oven 10 to 15 minutes, until warm.

  1. * * * MADE FOR MY 3-CHEFS FALL 2008 * * * I was getting together with a friend who I haven't seen in quite a while. She suggested we go out for pizza, and then I said I would make us supper. Well, the result was perfect. We both really liked the pizza. I did add some sliced black olives to the pizza. I also warmed up some pizza sauce to serve with it. So, thanks for making our night a good one with good food.
