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.

Awesome look mac and cheese! I love that Alton Brown!
Your site is great, just spent far too long snooping around your site, everything is beautiful!
I bet you don’t hear this too often, but I think I’m actually jealous of your lactose intolerance! The reason I don’t make mac n cheese (like, ever) is that I can eat way too much of it. If only I had a reason that would really force me to stop! (apparently my own willpower is not enough!)
I definitely rarely hear that one Cara! It does come in handy sometimes (like being around mac and cheese or cheesecake), but I definitely do miss ice cream…
Wow that mac n cheese looks heavenly! It is definitly one of my favorite foods of all time!
That is some beautiful mac and cheese!!
This is a favorite recipe of mine as well. Like you we like to add a variety of cheeses to the recipe.
This looks SO good! Can’t wait to try! Thanks! 🙂
This looks great! I love mac and cheese and doing it on the stove top makes it even easier 🙂
I have made this recipe a few times and it is great! I like that you used different cheeses. I need to try that next.
I’m a huge sucker for macaroni and cheese and am always looking for new recipes. Maybe I will try this out tonight. Thanks!
That looks delicious. I remember watching that episode on TV with “his nephew” who looked exactly like him, ha ha.
I’ve meaning to ask you this since you’re also a big fan of AB. In his book “I’m just here for MORE food”, there’s a choc fudge cake recipe. In it, there are instructions to combine cocoa powder with hot water. The amount of hot water says “tk”. Any idea what that could possibly mean??? It’s been bugging me quite some time!
Alton’s recipes are all solid. I haven’t mad eone that disappointed.
Homemade mac & cheese is the only way to go. Thanks for passing along the recipe. It’s much simpler than the one I normally make.

I made this recipe today…so good! I doubled it and I just hope it’s enough. This is so creamy and cheesy! Thank you for sharing.
My friend had that problem his entire life until he drank (pet) milk. That would be unpasteurized. Seems that the enzymes needed to digest the stuff comes from the original product.
