Ingredients
  

  • 2 8oz tubes crescent roll dough
  • 4 oz provolone cheese
  • 4 oz ham, sliced
  • 4 oz hard salami, sliced

  • Preheat oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Separate the crescent dough into 16 triangles. Place the dough onto the baking sheet in a circle pattern (use an upside bowl as a guide) with edges overlapping. Press down the dough where it overlaps to make it slightly less thick.
  • Layer the toppings; cheese, ham, prosciutto, salami, tomato, onion, banana peppers, and a few jalapenos. Make sure peppers are drained really well. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
  • Bring each dough triangle up over the filling, tucking the dough under the bottom layer of dough to secure it. Repeat around the ring until the entire ring is enclosed.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and thoroughly baked. Cool for 5 minutes before cutting into serving slices. Fill the middle with shredded lettuce.
