Deli Stromboli

Serves 8

2 10-oz. tubes refrigerated pizza crust

1/2 lb. sliced baked ham, divided

1/4 lb. sliced hard salami

1/4 lb. sliced pepperoni

1/4 lb. sliced mozzarella cheese

1/4 lb. sliced provolone cheese

1/4 lb. sliced American cheese

1 c. sliced mushrooms

1/3 c. hot pepper rings

1 onion, sliced

Roll crusts out on a lightly greased baking sheet to completely cover the bottom. Layer 1/4 pound meat, a cheese and then a vegetable; continue for 3 layers, ending with a layer of remaining ham. Fold dough back over top, envelope-style; pinch edges closed, making sure all ingredients are tucked inside. Bake at 425 degrees until golden, about 17 to 25 minutes; let stand 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

For an elegant yet quick last-minute appetizer, toss a drained jar of Italian antipasto mix with bite-size cubes of mozzarella or provolone cheese.
