Ingredients

• FILLING:
• 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
• 1-1/3 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
• 3 tablespoons prepared mustard
• 12 slices process American cheese
• 12 slices hard salami
• 1/2 pound thinly sliced deli ham
• 4 cups (16 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
• Canola oil
• Oregano to taste

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add oil, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough flour to form a soft dough.

2. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until not longer pink; drain and set aside.

3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll each portion into a 15-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Spread mustard lengthwise down half of each rectangle; layer with American cheese, salami, beef, ham and mozzarella. Fold plain half of dough over filling and seal ends well. Brush with oil; sprinkle with oregano.

4. Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly; cut into 1-in. slices. Yield: 16 servings, 1 slice per serving.
