Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 5 slices Provolone cheese cut in halves
  • 9 oz thin sliced deli ham
  • 6 oz spicy pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup diced roasted red bell pepper jarred
  • 1/2 cup pepperoncini or banana pepper rings
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 large egg beaten

Equipment

  • Pizza Stone

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit.
  2. Dice enough jarred roasted red bell peppers to create ½ C. Measure ½ C pepperoncini rings. Place both on paper towel and pat dry. Place in small bowl and toss with ¼ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper. Set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Place in preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and bottom is cooked.
