Italian Sub Crescent Ring Recipes

SPICY ITALIAN CRESCENT RING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit.
• Dice enough jarred roasted red bell peppers to create 1/2 C. Measure 1/2 C pepperoncini rings. Place both on paper towel and pat dry. Place in small bowl and toss with 1/4 tsp coarse ground black pepper. Set aside.
• Unroll crescent rolls and separate into triangles. Arrange crescents on a round pizza pan or pizza stone in a circle with the wide ends of triangles overlapping a little in the center to form a ring and triangle points facing outward to make the shape of a sun.
• Arrange halved slices of Provolone cheese around the overlapping wide triangle end edge of your crescent ring. Top with folded ham slices, a layer of spicy pepperoni (there will be pepperoni leftover), a layer of the pepper mixture & then the mozzarella cheese.
• Bring the point ends of the triangles up and around the filling, securing everything inside and tucking points under the center of the ring to seal it. Use a brush to wash the dough with beaten egg. Sprinkle with more black pepper.
• Place in preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and bottom is cooked.

SPICY ITALIAN HERO CRESCENT RING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Unroll both cans of dough; separate into 8 rectangles. On ungreased 12-inch pizza pan, arrange rectangles in ring so short sides of rectangles form a circle in center. (Dough will overlap; half of each rectangle will hang over edge of pan. Dough ring should resemble a sun.).
• Spread roasted red bell peppers towards center of ring on bottom halves of rectangles. Top with half of the cheese. Layer salami, ham and capocollo slices over cheese. Arrange pepper rings over top. Cover with remaining half of cheese.
• Bring each dough rectangle hanging over side of pan up over stacked filling, tucking dough under bottom layer of dough to secure it. Repeat around sandwich until entire filling is enclosed (some filling might show a little but that is okay.) Sprinkle with black pepper.
• Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until dough is golden brown and thoroughly baked. Remove from oven; cool 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into serving slices.
