Muffaletta Appetizer Wreath

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil, divided
  • 1 pkg (11 oz or 235 g) refrigerated French bread dough
  • 2 oz (60g) thinly sliced deli salami
  • ½ cup (125 mL) jarred roasted red peppers, drained, patted dry
  • ½ cup (125 mL) pitted black olives, drained
  • 2 oz (60 g) mozzarella cheese
  • 1   garlic clove, pressed
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) white wine vinegar
  • ½ oz (15 g) fresh Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup (50 mL) fresh basil leaves

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Brush the White Large Round Stone with 1½ tsp (7 mL) of the oil using the Chef’s Silicone Basting Brush.  

  2. Place the dough onto the flat side of a lightly floured Large Grooved Cutting Board. Cut the dough in half lengthwise using the Coated Bread Knife. Roll each half into a 15 x 2.5-in. (38 x 6-cm) strip using the Baker’s Roller®, sprinkling it with flour as needed. 

  3. Form the strips into a ring on the stone. Press the center of the dough with the small end of the roller to form a well in the middle of the dough.  

  4. Brush the dough with the remaining 1½ tsp (7 mL) of oil. Using the Pizza & Crust Cutter, cut each dough half into 12 rectangular pieces to make 24 pieces total. Bake 14-16 minutes or until golden brown.  

  5. Meanwhile, dice the salami and red peppers using a Santoku Knife. Coarsely process the olives in the Manual Food Processor

  9. Remove the stone from the oven; sprinkle the wreath with Parmesan and basil.
