Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg yolk, beaten
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• ½ cup grated Romano cheese
• 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• ½ pound ground beef
• ½ pound thinly sliced provolone cheese
• ½ pound thinly sliced pepperoni
• 4 (1 pound) loaves frozen bread dough, thawed
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce (such as Goya®)
• ½ pound thinly sliced salami
• ½ pound thinly sliced coppa ham

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place bread dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl and allow dough to rise in a warm location until doubled in size, 2 to 3 hours. Punch down dough and roll each loaf into a 12x15-inch rectangle.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir ground beef, garlic powder, oregano, parsley, salt, and black pepper until beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease.

Step 4

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over bread dough. Spread about half the tomato sauce over the mozzarella cheese.

Step 5

Layer the seasoned ground beef, provolone cheese, salami, pepperoni, and coppa ham on top and spread remaining half of the tomato sauce over the meat. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese and Romano cheese over tomato sauce.

Step 6

Roll each portion into a log, beginning with the long side. Press and seal the seam and ends of each roll; arrange rolls seam-side down on prepared baking sheets. Brush with egg yolk.

Step 7

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
