Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Prepare Bottom Layer: Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the baking dish, making sure to seal any seams to create a solid crust base.
Add First Layer of Ingredients: Layer half of the sliced salami, ham, pepperoni, and provolone cheese evenly over the dough base. Then sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese and scatter some banana peppers if you like a little tang.
Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process with the remaining half of the meats, provolone slices, mozzarella cheese, and banana peppers for a hearty, flavorful filling.
Top with Crescent Dough: Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully place it over the layered ingredients, pinching the seams and edges firmly to seal everything inside.
Season and Brush: Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden finish. Then sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder evenly over the top for extra flavor.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and fully cooked through.
Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into 8 portions. Serve warm to enjoy melted cheese and savory meat goodness.

Notes

Customize by swapping in your favorite Italian deli meats such as capicola or mortadella.
Add chopped olives or roasted red peppers for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
For a spicier dish, use hot salami or spicy pepperoni varieties.
Letting the bake cool slightly before slicing helps maintain shape and prevents cheese from spilling out.
Serve with a simple green salad or marinara dipping sauce for a complete meal.
