1

You will need some pizza dough. You can buy the dough that's already pre-made and pre-rolled out or you can go ahead and make it yourself and just roll it out into a big circle.

2

Use half a pound of thinly sliced beef salami and lay it out on top of the pizza dough, filling the entire surface.

3

Add green stuffed olives all over the pizza dough, ensuring even coverage.

4

Sprinkle a pack of raisins everywhere on the dough so every bite has a taste of sweet from the raisins and saltiness from the olives and salami.

5

Carefully roll everything up starting from the bottom, making sure to roll tightly to avoid air bubbles.

6

Pinch the sides to seal the filling inside while baking.

7

Poke the rolled bread with a fork to help the cooking process.

8

Crack an egg and apply egg wash on top of the bread for a golden brown finish.

9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 45 minutes to an hour without opening the oven.

10

After 45 minutes, check if the outside layer is golden brown to determine if it's ready.
