Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine rapid rise yeast and very hot water; let sit 2–3 minutes until slightly foamy.

- Divide dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ¼-inch thick oval. Lightly drizzle each with olive oil and sprinkle with a little parmesan, then fold over gently.
- Bake 3-4 minutes, until puffed, golden, and lightly crisp. (You need to watch it carefully!)
- Open each roll and layer with provolone, sliced meats and top with grinder salad. Serve immediately.
