Italian Stuffed Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (1 pound) loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
    1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 teaspoon dried basil
    16 slices mortadella
    12 slices provolone cheese
    12 thin slices capicola ham
    12 slices Genoa salami
    1 1/2 cups sliced Roma tomatoes (optional)
    1 1/2 cups thinly sliced fresh mushrooms (optional)
    1 egg, beaten
    2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)
Preparation
    Place dough in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
    Roll dough into a 17x20-inch rectangle about 1/4-inch thick on a large piece of parchment paper. Brush olive oil over dough; sprinkle basil and oregano on top. Layer mortadella, provolone cheese, capicola ham, Genoa salami, tomatoes, and mushrooms over dough.
    Roll dough lengthwise into a log. Brush the top with beaten egg; sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Transfer to a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until puffy, about 30 minutes.
    Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
    Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
