Ingredients
1 tube refrigerated crescent dough
20 slices pepperoni
12 slices salami
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup sliced banana peppers
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles. Arrange in a sunburst shape on the baking sheet, with wide ends overlapping in the center.
3. Layer pepperoni and salami in a ring shape over the wide ends of the dough.
4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the meat, then add banana peppers.
5. Fold the pointed ends of the triangles over the filling and tuck under the center to seal.
6. Brush the ring with beaten egg. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
7. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For even more heat, use hot banana peppers or a drizzle of chili oil before baking.
Leftovers reheat best in a toaster oven to keep the crust crispy.
