Method
- Pour the warm water into a large mixing bowl, sprinkle the instant yeast over it, and let sit for one minute.
- Add the sugar, olive oil, and salt, and stir until the yeast dissolves completely.
- Gradually mix in the flour, one cup at a time, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a clean surface or use a stand mixer to knead for 5 to 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Cook the Italian sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until crumbled; set aside.
- Dice the ham, slice the pepperoni, and chop the bell peppers and red onion.
- In a large bowl, combine the sausage, ham, pepperoni, bell peppers, red onion, olives, mozzarella, provolone, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
- Roll out the rested dough into a rectangle about 16x10 inches.
- Spread the filling mixture over the dough, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.
- Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly and seal the seams.
- Cover the rolled loaf and let rise for 30 to 40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Brush the loaf with egg wash and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
