Are you drooling yet? Well, let’s put on our aprons and get our hands doughy!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll both cans of dough; separate into 8 rectangles. On an ungreased 12-inch pizza pan, arrange the rectangles in a ring, overlapping them.
- Layer the half slices of provolone cheese over the dough, overlapping each other. Spread the roasted red bell peppers towards the center of the ring on top of the cheese.
- Place a layer of each meat over the peppers. Spread the hot pepper rings over the meats. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Bring each dough rectangle up over the filling, tucking the dough under the bottom layer of dough to secure it. Repeat around the ring until the entire filling is enclosed.
- Bake for 18-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Cool slightly before cutting into serving slices.
- And voila! You’ve just created a Spicy Italian Crescent Ring that looks like it came from a gourmet kitchen.
Serve this up with a side salad and a glass of your favorite Italian wine for a dinner that is sure to wow. This is more than just a meal—it’s an adventure, an experience, a delight for the senses that you’ll want to recreate time and again.
