Rotolo
This is one of my husbands favorite things to take to work for his lunch. You can make one loaf and it last him all week in place of the boring sandwiches.Or great for parties..........
A lot of your local grocery stores will carry either bread dough or pizza dough, if you can't find it in the store go to a local pizza shop and ask them if you can buy some pizza dough. Or if you're really ambitious you can make your own, but why do that when this is so simple.
Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
Let the dough set to room temperature
Spread the pizza or bread dough out into a rectangle about 14" x 12" place thinly sliced salami (1/4 #) to cover the dough, on that place thinly sliced provolone cheese (1/4 to 1/2 #), then another layer of meat such as capicola (1/4#) thinly sliced. on top of all that using a small jar of roasted red peppers placed sparingly on top. Now carefully starting at the wider side fold one side over to meet the middle then fold it over again with the seam side down. Mix one egg white with a tablespoon of water and brush on top of the Rotolo sprinkle it with poppy seeds or sesame seeds and bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Slice into one inch slices, wrap 2 or 3 slices in foil take them to work warm in a toaster oven for best results. I always like to slice the end off after it comes out of the oven and eat that, what flavor yum yum
Note...You can use different kinds of meat like ham, etc. and swiss cheese try adding mushrooms, or fresh peppers, black olives be creative it's all to your liking.. ENJOY!
