Ingredients:
- 2 (8-ounce) crescent roll dough packages, unrolled and separated
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ white onion, diced small
- ½ green pepper, diced small
- ½ pound thinly sliced deli roast beef (just under a half pound)
- 8 ounces provolone cheese
Directions:
1. Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
2. Sauté the Vegetables
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onions and peppers and sauté until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. This step enhances the flavors and softens the vegetables for the filling.
3. Arrange the Crescent Dough
Arrange the crescent dough triangles in a ring on the parchment paper, with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the pointed ends facing outward. This creates a base for the filling and a visually appealing ring shape.
4. Layer the Ingredients
Evenly layer the roast beef on the wide ends of the dough. Next, top with the sautéed onions and peppers. This layering ensures each bite is packed with flavor. Place the provolone cheese slices over the roast beef and vegetables.
5. Fold and Secure the Dough
Fold the pointed ends of the dough over the filling, tucking them under the wide ends to secure. This step encases the filling and keeps it intact during baking.
6. Bake the Crescent Ring
Bake the ring for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown. The baking process melds the flavors and crisps the dough to perfection. Cut into slices with a pizza cutter and serve warm for the best experience.
