Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Meats
- 8 oz sliced deli ham
- 8 oz sliced Genoa salami
- 8 oz sliced pepperoni
Cheeses
- 8 oz sliced provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Extras
- ½ cup sliced banana peppers (optional)
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Form the Bottom Crust: Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, making sure to pinch seams together to form a sealed crust.
- Layer Meats and Cheese: Layer half of the ham, salami, pepperoni, and provolone cheese evenly over the dough. Next, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and add sliced banana peppers if using.
- Repeat Layers: Add the remaining ham, salami, pepperoni, and provolone cheese in an even layer over the mozzarella and peppers.
- Add Top Crust: Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully place it on top of the layered fillings. Pinch the seams and edges securely to seal all the layers inside.
- Apply Toppings: Brush the top layer with the beaten egg to help it brown nicely. Drizzle olive oil on top, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder for added flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the sandwich bake to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it set for easier serving.

- You can substitute or mix in other deli meats such as turkey or capicola to vary the flavors.
- Additions like roasted red peppers, olives, or spinach can be included for extra taste and texture.
