Description

A warm and satisfying sandwich made with golden baked pizza dough wrapped around layers of savory turkey, salami, melted provolone, and fresh crisp vegetables. It combines the comfort of pizza with the bold flavors of a classic Italian deli sandwich.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound pizza dough, room temperature
  • 1 cup sliced turkey, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sliced salami, thinly sliced
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 cup fresh lettuce, chopped
  • 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12 by 8 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Layer sliced turkey and salami evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Add provolone slices on top.
  5. Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges gently. Brush the top with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  7. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and add fresh lettuce, tomato, and red onion before serving.

Notes

  • Allow the dough to come to room temperature before rolling for easier handling.
  • Pat vegetables dry before adding to prevent excess moisture.
  • Let the sandwich rest briefly after baking for cleaner slices.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for best texture.
