Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Open the cans of crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. Arrange them in a circular shape overlapping at the center.
  3. Spread a thin layer of spicy brown mustard over the exposed center of the crescent dough.
  4. Layer fillings starting with provolone cheese, followed by spicy salami, capicola, and pepperoni, then top with pepperoncini.
  5. Carefully lift the pointed ends of the crescent roll dough over the filling to form a ring. Tuck edges to seal.
  6. Brush an egg wash over the dough, followed by sprinkling with Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Cool for 5 minutes, slice into wedges, and serve warm with marinara sauce.
