make a thinner inside layer. bake without covering. 20 minutes should do it, at 350. is your oven okay ?

The problerm may be in letting it stay in the oven for too long. Allow the oven to preheat, and then put it on 350 for only 20-25 minutes.

maybe you're putting too much mayo or mustard?

how much mayo and mustard are you putting in? I only put a tablespoon of each (mixed together).

I put two layers of deli on the defrosted puff pastry dough. Then I put 9 spoonfuls (3 rows of 3 tablespoons) of honey mustard on top of the deli. I spread the honey mustard with a knife. I roll up the whole thing and place on a foiled covered cookie sheet or 9 x 13 pan. Bake it uncovered at 350 for about 45 minutes-1 hour, or longer, depending on how browned you like the outside.

Bake uncovered. Covering it might make it soggy and don't put too much of mayo and whatever else u put in.

if you are baking it for 2 hours to get it done, I'll bet you have too much deli inside the dough.

I once had to leave my house for a little while my deli roll was in the oven. I turned the oven off and let it sit until I came back. After it baked again, it still stayed soggy.
Now I learned that just like cookies, one cannot half-bake deli roll! It needs to bake at around 350 until fully cooked.
good luck!

roll the dough thin and don't use too much mayo/mustard. I usually just spread a thin layer of mayo or mustard then the deli, then roll, and I usually roll out the dough before hand.

Definitely don't cover it!! I just made one for Shabbos. Baked it uncovered, & even left it uncovered on the blech to reheat.

How soggy is it on the inside? It's going to be a little wet on the inside to a certain extent - it's filled with items that contain moisture. So unless you want your deli roll to be a charred brick, it's going to be a little soggy on the inside.

Also, don't cover it while it's cooking.
