Ingredients:
2 pkgs of Pillsbury Crusty French Loaf (this is near the canned biscuits in a long skinny tube--you'll need two containers of it)
Any type of butter spray
Italian seasoning
Garlic salt
1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced (I used purple onion)
1/2 sliced black olives
1/3 lb thin sliced turkey deli meat
1/3 lb thin sliced ham deli meat
8 thin slices of hard salami deli meat
thinly sliced cheese (American, provolone, colby jack, etc.)
Italian Salad dressing
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place dough, seam side down on large round stone. Join the ends of the dough together to form one large ring.
2. Spritz the top of the dough ring with butter spray--sprinkle italian seasoning all over top--sprinkle garlic salt over top. Bake bread in oven for 26-30 minutes until deep golden brown.
3. Remove bread to a cooling rack or plate--using a serrated knife slice horizontally around the bread, forming two halves. Remove the top half & set it aside.
4. Using a pastry brush, brush both halves of the bread with the italian dressing.
5. Working around the ring, layer it with the meats, cheeses & vegetables of your choice. Top with the other half of the ring & slice individual sandwiches servings when done.
(Side note: you can use whatever meats, cheese, veggies you like. At the party we used tomato, bell pepper, romaine lettuce, etc. But this second time that I made it I omitted the tomatoes & used avocado, purple onion, spinach...the options are endless. It's the awesome bread that makes this sandwich so tasty & the fact that it's kind of a hot sandwich since the bread is still warm from the oven.)
