Everyone likes deli roll. And it’s not difficult to make. Which is a plus after all those endless elaborate holiday meals we cooked. But hey, what’s not to like? Carbs in the form of pastry dough plus cold cuts, with a slathering of good mustard.

Don’t know anyone who can say anything but “Yes, please!”

Deli Roll

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 roll frozen pastry dough, defrosted overnight in refrigerator
  • ⅓ cup Dijon mustard
  • 4 ounces (¼-pound) sliced pastrami
  • 4 ounces (¼-pound) sliced turkey
  • 4 ounces (¼-pound) sliced corned beef
  • 1 egg, beaten with fork, for glaze
  • Sesame seeds, optional

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12 x 15-inch cookie sheet with baking parchment paper.
  2. Unroll puff pastry sheet onto prepared cookie sheet.
  3. Spread mustard over pastry sheet.
  4. Layer cold cuts over dough in layers, first the pastrami, then the turkey and the corned beef.
  5. Roll dough up as you would for a jellyroll. Place roll seam side down and brush the exterior of the dough well with beaten egg. You can make decorative slashes in the dough with a sharp knife, if desired. You can also sprinkle with sesame seeds, if you like.
  6. Bake the roll uncovered at 350°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until golden and flaky. Let deli roll stand 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
