Scale
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup spicy marinara sauce or pizza sauce
- 1/2 lb sliced spicy salami
- 1/2 lb sliced pepperoni
- 1/2 lb sliced hot capicola (optional for extra spice)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Arrange the Crescent Dough
- Open the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles.
- On the baking sheet, arrange the triangles in a circular shape, with the wide ends overlapping slightly to form a ring.
- The pointed ends should face outward like the sun’s rays.
Step 3: Layer the Filling
- Spread a thin layer of spicy marinara sauce on the dough.
- Evenly layer salami, pepperoni, and hot capicola over the dough.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan cheese on top.
- Season with Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
Step 4: Fold and Seal the Crescent Ring
- Carefully bring the pointed ends of the dough over the filling.
- Tuck them under the center ring, pressing gently to seal.
- Brush the top with a beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden Brown
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and crispy.
- Let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
