Ham, Soppressata and Two-Cheese Stromboli
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- Two 1-pound pieces of pizza dough
- 1/2 pound thinly sliced Black Forest ham
- 1/2 pound thinly sliced provolone
- 1/2 pound thinly sliced hot or sweet soppressata
- 1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, cut into 4-by-3/4-inch sticks
- 12 large basil leaves
- 8 ounces roasted red peppers from a jar, drained and cut into 1/2-inch strips
- 2 peperoncini, stemmed and finely chopped
- 1 large egg yolk beaten with 1 tablespoon of water
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one piece of the pizza dough to a 14-by-10-inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- With a long side facing you, layer half each of the ham, provolone and soppressata across the bottom half of the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border on the bottom.
- Arrange half of the mozzarella strips across the soppressata.
- Top with half each of the basil leaves, roasted red pepper strips and chopped peperoncini.
- Loosely roll the dough around the filling and pinch the seams together to seal.
- Fold in the sides.
- Transfer the stromboli to a lightly oiled baking sheet, seam side down.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and fillings and place the stromboli on a second lightly oiled baking sheet.
- Brush the strombolis with the egg wash and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
- Make five 1-inch diagonal slashes across the top of each stromboli to allow steam to escape.
- Bake the strombolis for about 40 minutes, until golden.
- Transfer to a rack and let cool for 20 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
