Cheese and Dairy:

- 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
- Warm your oven to 375°F and coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray, ensuring zero sticking surfaces.
- Unroll the first can of crescent roll dough across the dish’s bottom, carefully pressing seams together to create a seamless foundation.
- 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.
- Arrange 4 slices of provolone cheese across the dough, creating the first delicious layer.
- Layer 8 slices of ham evenly, followed by 8 slices of salami, ensuring complete coverage of the cheese base.
- Add 8 slices of pepperoni across the meat layer, creating a robust protein foundation.
- Scatter ½ cup banana pepper rings over the meat if you enjoy extra zesty flavor.
- Top the peppers with remaining 4 provolone cheese slices, creating a complete coverage.
- Drizzle your prepared dressing mixture lightly across the top layer, distributing flavors evenly.
- Unroll the second crescent roll dough, stretching it carefully to cover the entire dish’s surface.
- Pinch and seal all edges, creating a complete enclosure for your delicious filling.
- Brush the entire top surface with 1 beaten egg, ensuring a golden, glossy finish.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan across the egg-washed surface for extra flavor.
- Bake at 375°F for 22-25 minutes, rotating dish halfway through to ensure even browning.
- 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.
