Ingredients :

• Refrigerated croissant dough — Two cans from the chilled aisle — the ones right next to the dairy. No need to knead it. The idea is precisely to use it as is by pressing on the perforations to reform a continuous sheet. Avoid ‘low-fat’ versions which have less fat and don’t puff up as well during baking.
• Turkey ham — Thinly sliced, from the deli counter. It brings sweetness and soft texture amidst all these bolder flavors. If you find a slightly smoked version, it fits in very well.
• Beef salami — Beef salami has a stronger, slightly peppery taste. Thinly sliced, it layers well without making the filling too thick. Standard supermarket brands work great here — no need for a specialized deli.
• Provolone — The right choice for this type of dish. It melts without releasing as much water as mozzarella, which prevents a soggy bottom crust. Mild or aged, both work — mild melts discreetly, aged brings a more distinct character.
