Step 4. Top the cheese with the salami.

Then add the ham, red peppers, capocollo, and hot pepper rings. 

Step 5. Add the remaining cheese slices on top. 

Step 6. Roll the dough up around the filling, working towards the outside of the circle. Tuck the dough around the filling. 

Step 7. Sprinkle with black pepper. 

Step 8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Are crescent rolls the same as puff pastry?

No, they are not the same thing. Puff pastry is flakier and falls apart easier than crescent roll dough.

Both are really good options for making savory and sweet recipes.

Are crescent rolls and croissants the same thing?

No, they are not the same thing. Crescent rolls are more bread like a dinner roll, and croissants are more like a pastry. Croissants are much flakier and have a more buttery flavor, and are typically served as sweet foods.

Can you save uncooked crescent rolls?

Yes, keep the uncooked crescent roll dough in the refrigerator until the expiration date on the packaging. It should be kept cold until it is ready to be cooked.

Can I Double This Recipe

Absolutely, just double the ingredients by following the recipe. You will need to use a second baking dish and possibly work in batches if your oven does not have space for two crescent rings at the same time.

Make-ahead

You can prep all of the ingredients and make the crescent ring ahead of time. Refrigerate until you are ready to bake, and it will last in the fridge for up to 12 hours before baking.

Store leftovers

After the Italian crescent ring has cooled down all the way, refrigerate for up to 3 days. It should be kept in an airtight container and away from heat, sunlight, and steam.

Reheat in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes or reheat in the oven at 375° for 8 to 10 minutes.
