Method
- Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit.
- 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.
- 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.
