Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Roll out the Dough: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle, approximately 12×14 inches in size. The dough should be about 1/4 inch thick.
Brush with Olive Oil: In a small bowl, mix 2 Tbsp olive oil with the minced garlic (or garlic powder). Using a pastry brush, evenly spread the olive oil and garlic mixture over the rolled-out dough.
Step 2: Add the Cheese and Meats
Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle 2 Tbsp of Parmesan cheese evenly over the dough. This adds a nice salty flavor and helps the meats stick to the dough.
Layer the Meats: First, lay down the slices of pepperoni evenly across the surface of the dough. Follow with the sliced deli ham and finally the salami. Be sure to distribute the meats evenly, so each slice of the roll has a bit of everything.
Top with Mozzarella: Evenly sprinkle the 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the meats.
Step 3: Roll and Seal
Roll the Dough: Starting from one of the shorter sides, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Try to roll it evenly and firmly to prevent gaps. Once fully rolled, pinch the seam to seal the dough.
Cut into Slices: Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled dough into 9 equal slices. Place the slices cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
