Sopressata Skillet Rolls Recipes

SOPRESSATA SKILLET ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously brush a large skillet with some of the olive oil.
• Turn dough out onto a floured work surface. Using a floured rolling pin, roll dough into a 10-by-20-inch rectangle. Brush with olive oil; sprinkle with rosemary and sopressata. Halve lengthwise. Roll each strip lengthwise to form a long, narrow roll. Cut each roll into 11 3/4-inch slices.
• Place the slices, with a cut side down, in the skillet. Brush tops with remaining olive oil. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise until dough does not spring back when pressed with a finger, about 30 minutes.
• Bake until golden, about 35 minutes; serve warm or at room temperature.

SOPPRESSATA AND CHEESE IN PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan.
• Lay one sheet of puff pastry on a floured board and lightly roll into a 10-inch square. Place it on the sheet pan and brush the pastry with all the mustard, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange the soppressata in overlapping layers on the mustard and sprinkle the grated cheese evenly on the soppressata, also avoiding the border. Brush the border with the egg wash.
• Lightly roll the second piece of puff pastry into a 10-inch square. Lay the pastry directly on top of the first square, lining up the edges. Brush the top with the egg wash, cut three large slits for steam to escape, and chill for 15 minutes.
• When the pastry is cold, trim the edges with a very sharp knife to make a clean edge. Bake the pastry in the center of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once while baking, until puffed and brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes, cut in squares, and serve hot or warm.
