Italian Hero Crescent Ring

Ingredients

• • 2cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
  • 1/2cup well drained roasted red bell peppers (from a jar)
  • 8slices provolone cheese, halved
  • 1/3lb deli sliced hot salami
  • 1/4lb deli sliced ham
  • 1/4lb deli sliced capocollo
  • 1/2cup well drained hot pepper rings (from a jar)

Directions

• Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick cooking sheet).
• Unroll both cans of dough; separate into 8 rectangles. On ungreased 12-inch pizza pan, arrange rectangles in ring so short sides of rectangles form a circle in center. (Dough will overlap; half of each rectangle will hang over edge of pan. Dough ring should look like a sun.)
• Spread roasted red bell peppers toward center of ring on bottom halves of rectangles. Top with half of the cheese. Layer salami, ham and capocollo slices over cheese. Arrange pepper rings over top. Cover with remaining half of cheese.
• Bring each dough rectangle hanging over side of pan up over stacked filling, tucking dough under bottom layer of dough to secure it. Repeat around sandwich until entire filling is enclosed (some filling might show a little). Sprinkle with black pepper.

Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until dough is golden brown and thoroughly baked. Cool 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into serving slices.

Start layering your sandwich filling ingredients down. Overlapping of ingredients is fine, and encouraged.
Once you have a good stack of ingredients, you’ll take the outside of the dough and bring it up and over to fully enclose the filling.

Tuck the ends of the crescent dough underneath to secure it, give it a little sprinkle of fresh cracked black pepper and bake until golden brown.
Let it cool slightly before slicing into it. I serve this with a side of creamy Italian dressing for dipping, and it’s an instant hit!
