One month into the new school year and I am still going strong on fun, new lunch box ideas. I actually packed PB&J yesterday for my kids and two of them returned them uneaten. I think I found the downside of packing a delicious variety of lunches everyday: higher expectations!
They should know me better than that. I totally love getting into something new, only to later fall off the wagon once it become difficult or I am too busy with other parts of life. I’m all alone in this character trait, right?
These actually served double duty as far as meals go. I made a double batch and served one pan hot for dinner then wrapped up the second pan for lunches. They were massively popular and we actually had to break into the lunch pan before dinner was completed. So instead of enough for two school lunches, I only had enough for one but it is all good.
Hot Italian Club Roll-Ups
Easy dinner recipe or lunchbox meal!
- Yield: 12 rolls 1x
Ingredients
- 1 recipe of pizza dough
- 1/2 pound deli turkey meat
- 1/2 pound deli genoa salami
- 1/2 pound sliced provolone cheese
- mayonnaise, mustard and/or pesto
- salt and pepper
- olive oil
- balsamic or red wine vinegar
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425 degree. Roll out pizza dough to a roughly 12″ x 18″ rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread on the desired spreads of mayonnaise, mustard and/or pesto. Layer the lunch meats and cheese evenly over the top.
2. Starting on the 18″ side, roll up the rectangle into a log and pinch the seam closed to seal. Cut into 12 even pieces with a serrated knife and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Cover and let rise until a bit puffy, about 20 minutes. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the rolls are lightly brown. Eat hot or allow to cool before packing them for lunches.

Do I heard someone says girls night out? Well surely, that italian club roll-ups was enticing but I strongly suggest that a painting while on dinner should be experience as well.

Hi Carole, I’m excited to give this a try for a weekend snack. What happens with the olive oil and balsamic/red wine vinegar at the end of the ingredient list? Is it for brushing on the rolls before baking, or maybe a dipping sauce for serving? Thanks for your recipes. I’m also going to make your lasagna stuffed mushrooms this weekend. Yum!
Carole says
Hi Joni! Sprinkle them over the top of the filling before you roll them up. Can’t wait to hear what you think!
Joni says
We loved these! I had shared the roll-ups with a neighbor, and they have now requested them again. I’m looking forward to trying more of your great recipes. Thanks again,
Carole says
So grateful you loved them…and your neighbor!
