Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 2 cans 8 oz refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
  • 8 thin slices provolone cheese folded or halved
  • 1/3 lb deli sliced hot salami
  • 1/4 lb deli sliced ham

  • 1/2 cup well-drained hot pepper rings from a jar
  • 1/2 cup well-drained roasted red bell peppers from a jar, optional

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions
  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Unroll and separate the crescent dough into triangles or rectangles. Arrange them in a ring shape on a baking sheet or pizza stone, slightly overlapping the edges.
  • Layer the filling inside the dough ring by placing the hot pepper rings, provolone cheese, hot salami, ham, capocollo (if using), and roasted red bell peppers (if using) in the center.
  • Carefully fold the dough over the filling, tucking the bottom layer under to secure it. This helps to seal in the flavors.
  • Sprinkle black pepper over the top for added flavor.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 28 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
  • Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Provolone cheese offers a creamy texture, enhancing the overall flavor of the dish.
  • For a flavorful twist, consider drizzling the finished ring with jalapeño or spicy mustard.
  • This dish isn't only easy to make but also allows for endless customization. You can switch up the meats and cheeses based on your preferences or add other ingredients like jalapeños or grated Parmesan for an extra punch.
  • Enjoy your culinary creation!
