Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment.
- Cut each slice of prosciutto into 4 pieces, each about 1 1/2 inches by 3 inches. Cut the roasted red pepper into 16 strips, each about 1/2 inch by 2 inches.
- Unroll the dough on a cutting board. Spread the pesto on the dough in an even layer. Cut the dough along the perforated lines to create 8 triangles. Cut each triangle in half to create 16 long, thin triangles.
- Lay a mozzarella stick across the bottom of the wide end of one of the triangles. Lay 1 strip of red pepper crosswise next to the mozzarella, then lay 1 piece of prosciutto over most of the remaining pesto layer. Starting at the wide end, roll up the dough tightly around the filling and place seam-side down on one of the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough, prosciutto, red pepper and mozzarella sticks.
- Bake until the dough is golden brown and cooked through and the mozzarella sticks are heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve warm with marinara and more pesto for dipping.
SICILIAN MEAT ROLL WITH MOZZARELLA AND PROSCIUTTO
A very impressive and flavorful meat roll good enough for company! Like an up-scale meatloaf roll and one of my very favorites! Easy to make, too. And don't worry that the prosciutto is too expensive. 6 paper-thin slices don't cost much and are well worth it! You can sub ham if desired, though. Enjoy! Photo by me

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, combine the egg, ketchup, Italian seasoning, garlic, seasoned salt, and parsley, mixing well. Process bread into crumbs; add to mixture. Crumble sirloin over mixture; combine completely. On a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil, press meat into a rectangle. Evenly place prosciutto over meat to within 1 inch of edge. (Overlapping slices as needed.) Sprinkle half of the mozzarella over prosciutto. Roll up jellyroll style, removing foil as you roll. Seal all edges completely. Sprinkle top with coarse ground pepper. Bake, uncovered, seam side down at 350°F for 1 hour. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.
MOZZARELLA, PROSCIUTTO, PESTO AND PLUM TOMATO SANDWICHES
Steps:
- Slice baguettes in half and then lengthwise but don't cut all the way through.
- Slather the bottom half of the baguettes with pesto. Top with prosciutto, tomatoes and mozzarella. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Placing the mozzarella on top will keep the top of bread from getting soggy from tomatoes.
- Wrap sandwiches tightly in parchment and slice in half. Pack away.
- Place walnuts, cheese, garlic, and 1/2 cup olive oil in a blender and puree until smooth. Add basil and parsley, and then with the motor running, gradually add the remaining olive oil until pesto is thick and smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Form dough (as directed in Basic Pizza Dough recipe) in a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet. Cover with mozzarella in an even layer. Sprinkle with pepper.
- Bake until cooked through, crust is golden on edges and bottom, and cheese is golden-brown in spots, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Immediately arrange prosciutto slices in even intervals across pie. Using a metal spatula, slide pie onto a cutting board. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt. Slice into 6 pieces and serve.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- Make sure the mozzarella cheese is cold before slicing it. This will help prevent it from sticking to the knife.
- If you don't have a meat slicer, you can thinly slice the prosciutto by hand using a sharp knife.
- Be careful not to overcook the rolls. They should be cooked until the prosciutto is slightly browned and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the rolls immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
