# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Unroll one can of crescent rolls and press the dough into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, ensuring to seal the seams and pressing slightly up the sides of the dish.

Arrange half of the ham, salami, and provolone cheese on top of the crescent dough.
04 -
Evenly spread the pepperoni, banana pepper rings, and roasted red peppers over the layer of meats and cheese.
05 -
Sprinkle the Italian seasoning evenly over the top of the pepperoni and peppers.
06 -
Layer the remaining ham, salami, and provolone cheese on top of the pepper mix.
07 -
Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and lay it over the layers, pressing gently to seal the edges and seams.
08 -
Brush the top layer of crescent dough with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
09 -
Place the prepared dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
10 -
Allow the Italian Crescent Ring to cool slightly before cutting into squares to serve. Optionally, serve with fresh lettuce and tomato slices on the side for added freshness.
# Notes:
01 -
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
02 -
To freeze, wrap the cooled Italian Crescent Ring tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. Label with the date and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
03 -
When pressing the crescent dough into the baking dish and sealing the edges, ensure there are no gaps to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
04 -
Evenly distribute the meats, cheeses, and peppers to ensure each bite has a balanced flavor profile.
