Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 2 8oz tubes crescent roll dough
Meats
- ¼ lb deli ham sliced
- ¼ lb hard salami sliced
- ¼ lb pepperoni sliced
Cheeses
- 8 oz provolone cheese sliced
- ¼ lb mozzarella cheese sliced
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
Vegetables & Peppers
- 1 12oz can roasted red bell peppers sliced thin
- ½ cup jarred pepperoncini peppers drained
Seasonings & Oils
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- salt & black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Assemble First Dough Layer: Unroll one tube of crescent roll dough and lay it evenly in the prepared dish. Pinch all the seams together to seal. Brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, and half the dried oregano.
- Layer Meats and Cheeses: Layer the sliced ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone, and mozzarella evenly over the dough. Spread the sliced roasted red bell peppers and drained pepperoncini peppers on top.
- Top with Second Dough Layer: Unroll the second tube of crescent roll dough and place it over the layered fillings. Pinch the seams together carefully to enclose all ingredients.
- Season and Add Parmesan: Brush the top layer with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and the remaining oregano. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and crispy. If the top crust starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the antipasto squares to cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving to allow flavors to set and avoid burning your mouth.
Notes
- Make sure to pinch the dough seams well to prevent fillings from leaking out during baking.
- You can substitute different deli meats or cheese varieties based on your preference.
- For a spicier bite, add sliced jalapeños or substitute pepperoncini with banana peppers.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the antipasto squares neatly after cooling.
- If the dough is too sticky to work with, refrigerate it for 10 minutes before handling.
