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 & Oil
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- Salt & black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Form Bottom Layer: Unroll one tube of crescent roll dough into the prepared dish and pinch the seams to create a uniform crust. Brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season evenly with salt, black pepper, and half of the dried oregano.
- Add Fillings: Layer on the sliced ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone, mozzarella cheeses, roasted red bell peppers, and pepperoncini peppers evenly across the dough.
- Top Layer: Place the second tube of crescent roll dough over the layered ingredients, pinching seams together to seal. Brush the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the remaining oregano. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and crispy. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil to prevent burning.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the antipasto squares to cool in the dish for 15 minutes before cutting into 12 squares and serving.
Notes
- Use a 9x13 inch baking dish for best results to fit all ingredients evenly.
- If preferred, substitute mozzarella with fresh sliced mozzarella or provolone with cheddar for different flavor profiles.
- To reduce spice, omit or reduce the amount of pepperoncini peppers.
- Letting the dish rest before cutting helps the layers set and prevents filling from spilling out.
- Can be served warm or at room temperature, making it versatile for parties and potlucks.
