    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    2 loaves frozen bread dough, thawed (1 lb. each)
    1/2 cup pesto sauce, divided

    1/2 lb mozzarella cheese, sliced
    1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Preparation
    In a large skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook one minute more, stirring constantly to prevent the garlic from burning. Cool completely.

    Spread each with 2 Tbs. of pesto and sprinkle with the onion mixture.
    Lay basil leaves down the center of each loaf.
    Arrange the salami, prosciutto, capicola ham and mozarella cheese over each rectangle to within 1/2\" of edges.
    Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long edge.
    Pinch seams to seal, and tuck ends under.
    Brush with remaining pesto and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
    Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
    Cool 5 minutes before slicing.
