- Divide dough into 4 portions.
- For each portion, roll out into a rectangle.
- Lay sliced hard salami in overlapping rows down the center of each rectangle.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding a layer of pesto or marinara sauce before the salami for extra flavor. You can substitute the salami with pepperoni or even a vegetarian option like roasted vegetables. If you're short on time, you can use store-bought pizza dough instead of frozen. Be sure to let the dough rise for the best texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Salami Rolls with a side of marinara sauce for dipping or a fresh salad to balance the richness. They make an excellent appetizer or game day snack. For a complete meal, pair them with a Cheese, Pepperoni, Veggie Casserole or a refreshing side salad.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these Salami Rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls a day in advance. After assembling, cover them tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. When ready to bake, simply remove them from the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking.
What can I use instead of egg whites for brushing?
If you're looking for an egg-free option, you can brush the rolls with melted butter or olive oil before baking. This will give them a nice golden color and added flavor without using eggs.
Are there any vegetarian alternatives for this recipe?
Absolutely! You can replace the salami with a variety of vegetables such as roasted bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach. Adding a layer of cheese will still provide that satisfying taste, making it a delicious vegetarian treat.
