Ingredients

Scale

Main Proteins:

  • 8 slices deli ham or turkey ham
  • 8 slices hard salami
  • 8 slices pepperoni

Cheese and Dairy:

  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons Italian dressing or mayonnaise

Dough and Seasonings:

  • 2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon or spicy mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup banana pepper rings (optional for zing)

Instructions

  1. Warm your oven to 375°F and coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray, ensuring zero sticking surfaces.
  2. Unroll the first can of crescent roll dough across the dish’s bottom, carefully pressing seams together to create a seamless foundation.
  3. Whisk 2 tablespoons Italian dressing, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning in a small bowl until your spread looks smooth and combined.
  4. Arrange 4 slices of provolone cheese across the dough, creating the first delicious layer.
  5. Layer 8 slices of ham evenly, followed by 8 slices of salami, ensuring complete coverage of the cheese base.
  6. Add 8 slices of pepperoni across the meat layer, creating a robust protein foundation.
  7. Scatter ½ cup banana pepper rings over the meat if you enjoy extra zesty flavor.
  8. Top the peppers with remaining 4 provolone cheese slices, creating a complete coverage.
  9. Drizzle your prepared dressing mixture lightly across the top layer, distributing flavors evenly.
  10. Unroll the second crescent roll dough, stretching it carefully to cover the entire dish’s surface.
  11. Pinch and seal all edges, creating a complete enclosure for your delicious filling.
  12. Brush the entire top surface with 1 beaten egg, ensuring a golden, glossy finish.
  13. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan across the egg-washed surface for extra flavor.
  14. Bake at 375°F for 22-25 minutes, rotating dish halfway through to ensure even browning.
  15. Remove when top turns deep golden brown and filling appears thoroughly heated.

Notes

  • Use room temperature meats and cheeses for even layering and better melting in the sandwich bake.
  • Slice banana peppers thinly to distribute flavor evenly and prevent large chunks in each bite.
  • For a lower-carb version, swap crescent rolls with thin sliced zucchini or use low-carb tortilla wraps.
  • Check the internal temperature reaches 165°F to ensure the dough is fully cooked and meats are heated through.
