Option 1:  In the middle of the rectangle, place 1 slice deli ham, 2 slices salami, 8 slices pepperoni, 2 slices capicola and 1 slice mozzarella.  Fold the dough so both ends meet and crimp closed.  Squeeze the sides of each Stromboli closed.

Option 2:  Fill the entire rectangle leaving ¼ inch at each side. Fill the rectangle, with 1 slice deli ham, 2 slices salami, 8 slices pepperoni, 2 slices capicola and 1 slice mozzarella.  Starting at one long side, roll the Stromboli until you reach the end.  Press the dough end down to make a seam.  Squeeze the ends together to close.
