Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 ounces Salami slices
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds or grated Parmesan (optional topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Punch down the dough to release air and roll it out into a rectangular shape (about 12x16 inches).

Step 7

Evenly layer the salami slices across the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the salami.

Step 9

Roll the dough tightly into a log starting from the long side, pinching the edges to seal and tucking in the ends.

Step 10

Transfer the rolled dough seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the mixture over the top of the bread.

Step 12

If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or grated Parmesan on top for extra flavor and texture.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 14

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
