👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Dough
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out pizza dough into a 10x14-inch rectangle on a floured surface.
2️⃣ Layer the Fillings
Spread marinara sauce evenly, leaving a 1-inch border.
Layer provolone, mozzarella, salami, pepperoni, ham, and veggies.
Sprinkle with Italian seasoning & garlic powder.
3️⃣ Roll & Seal
Starting from the long side, roll tightly (like a jelly roll).
Pinch the edges to seal, then place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
Brush with olive oil and cut 3-4 small slits on top (to vent steam).
4️⃣ Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown.
Brush with garlic-herb butter right out of the oven.
5️⃣ Slice & Serve!
Let rest 5 mins before slicing.
Serve with warmed marinara for dipping.
