Pizza Roll

Hubby and I had a party to go to. It was actually the finals for our Beirut league. Yes, we play in a Beirut league. I always called it Beer Pong, but here they call it Beirut. Anyways, the finals were coming up and we knew it was going to be a long night of drinking, so I wanted to make some food that would help soak up the alcohol.

The pizza roll was a huge hit. I baked it the day before and cut and refrigerated it overnight. Then I popped it into the oven to reheat it. I served it with ranch dressing and marinara sauce.

I followed the recipe from Allrecipes.com except for a few minor changes. I made 2 loafs (since there were 20 teams of 2 people each) and they were gone in an instant.

Pizza Roll (from Allrecipes.com)
1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough – I used refrigerated French Loaf
1/4 pound Genoa salami, thinly sliced
1/4 pound pepperoni sausage, sliced
1/4 pound provolone cheese, sliced
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
I added some Italian seasoning on top prior to baking

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.

Roll pizza crust dough into an approximately 10×14 inch rectangle on the baking sheet. Layer with Genoa salami, pepperoni and provolone cheese. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese to within 1/2 inch from edges of the dough. Roll jelly roll style. Seal the edge with a fork.

Bake in the preheated oven 25 minutes, or until golden brown (I covered with foil the last 5 minutes so it wouldn’t brown too much on the top). Slice into 1 inch pieces to serve.
