In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough starts to form.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle approximately 1 cm thick.
Layer the salami, prosciutto, provolone cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and basil leaves evenly over the dough rectangle.
Carefully roll the dough from one long edge to the other into a tight log.
Place the roll seam-side down on a lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl, beat together the egg and 15 ml of water to make an egg wash.
Brush the top of the roll with the egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack.
