Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 2 cans of crescent roll dough sheets: Forms the base and top layer. Regular crescent dough works if you seal the seams.
• 8 ounces provolone cheese: Melts perfectly with a mild, creamy taste.
• ¼ pound each of deli meats: Pepperoni (spicy), ham (sweet), and Genoa salami (garlic and pepper).
• 12 ounces roasted red bell peppers, drained and sliced: Adds tangy sweetness.
• ½ cup canned sliced pepperoncini, drained: For crunch and a gentle heat.
• 1 large egg: Helps bind the topping.
• 1 tablespoon prepared pesto: Brings rich basil flavor.
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese: Adds a salty, nutty finish.

Detailed Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
2. Assemble the Base:
   • Lay one crescent roll sheet in the dish, pressing to form a crust slightly up the sides.
   • Layer half the provolone slices over the dough.
3. Add the Meats and Veggies:
   • Evenly layer pepperoni, then ham, then salami.
   • Scatter roasted peppers and pepperoncini on top.
   • Add the remaining provolone slices.
4. Encase the Filling:
   • Place the second crescent roll sheet on top and pinch edges to seal.
5. Prepare the Topping:
   • Whisk egg, pesto, and Parmesan together in a small bowl.
   • Brush evenly over the dough.
6. Bake to Perfection:
   • Cover with foil (sprayed or non-stick) and bake for 30 minutes.
   • Remove foil and bake 15–20 more minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
7. Cool and Serve:
   • Let rest for 10 minutes for easier slicing.
   • Cut into squares and serve warm.

Storing and Reheating:

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Freeze cooled squares in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag or container for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Thaw overnight in the fridge (if frozen) and warm at 350°F until heated through and crisp.
