Nostalgic Crescent Roll Layered Sandwich Bake

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking.
  2. Prepare the Base Layer: Unroll one can of crescent rolls and press the dough into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Ensure the seams are sealed and press the dough slightly up the sides of the dish.
  3. Layer the Fillings: Begin by layering half of the ham, salami, and provolone cheese over the crescent dough.
  4. Add the Peppers: Evenly distribute the pepperoni, banana pepper rings, and roasted red peppers over the layered meats and cheese.
  5. Season Generously: Sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly over the top to infuse the dish with robust flavors.
  6. Repeat the Layers: Layer the remaining ham, salami, and provolone cheese over the pepper mixture.
  7. Top Layer: Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and place it over the layers, carefully pressing to seal the edges and seams.
  8. Finishing Touches: Brush the top layer of crescent dough with olive oil and generously sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
  9. Bake to Perfection: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling with melted goodness.
  10. Serve: Allow the dish to cool slightly before cutting it into squares. For a fresh twist, serve with crisp lettuce and juicy tomato slices on the side.
