1. Salami Roses
Yield: 6
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Difficulty Level: Easy
You’ll Need:
- 60 slices of salami
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
- pizza dough
Here’s How:
1.1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Roll out the pizza dough and use a glass with a 2-inch rim to cut the pizza dough into 6 smaller circles. Line the rim of a 2-inch glass with 9 slices of salami, as shown in the video. Cut a final piece of salami so that it fits in the center.
1.2 Fill the rest of the glass with shredded mozzarella, then place a piece of pizza dough on top.
1.3 Flip the glass over so that the salami rose sits in the well of a muffin tray. Repeat this process 5 more times, until the muffin tray is filled. Sprinkle some additional shredded mozzarella on top of the salami roses, then transfer the muffin tray to the oven and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.
2. Salami Cream Cheese Rolls
Yield: 6
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Difficulty Level: Easy
You’ll Need:
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 25 slices of salami
- diced green bell pepper
- crackers
Here’s How:
2.1 Fill a resealable plastic bag with the cream cheese, then use a rolling pin to spread it out evenly throughout the bag. Cut 3 edges of the plastic bag open and fold over the top of the bag so that there is a full layer of cream cheese.
2.2 Lay the slices of salami on top of the layer of cream cheese so that it’s completely covered, then use the plastic bag to help flip the whole thing over onto a clean work surface.
2.3 Place some diced green bell peppers in the layer of cream cheese, then roll everything up into a snug log. For the best results, transfer everything to the refrigerator and let it chill briefly before rolling it up. Slice the salami roll into small, snack-sized pieces.
2.4 Place the salami cream cheese rolls on your favorite kind of cracker to serve.
