Baked Italian Sub Squares

Ingredients

• 2 cans Pillsbury crescent dough sheets (Each can is 8 oz; use one sheet for the bottom and one for the top.)
• Provolone cheese (Amount not specified; use enough to evenly cover the dough.)
• Deli ham (Amount not specified; layer evenly over the provolone.)
• Large pepperoni (Amount not specified; layer evenly over the ham.)
• Mozzarella cheese slices (Amount not specified; layer evenly over the pepperoni.)
• 2 tbsp Butter (Melted.)
• 0.25 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tbsp Grated Parmesan
• Nonstick cooking spray (For lightly spraying the 9x13-inch baking dish.)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

2. 2

   Unroll one can of crescent dough sheets into the prepared baking dish. Press it gently so it covers the bottom of the dish, forming the bottom crust.

3. 3

   Evenly layer the provolone, deli ham, large pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese slices over the dough.

4. 4

   Unroll the second can of crescent dough sheets and carefully place it over the cheese layer to form the top crust. Tuck the sides in so the filling is covered.

5. 5

   Melt the butter. Add the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan, then mix well to make the topping.

6. 6

   Brush the melted butter mixture evenly over the top dough layer.

7. 7

   Bake the dish uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and deep golden brown.

8. 8

   Let the baked squares cool for 5 to 10 minutes so the melted cheese can set and the layers stay together. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

The amounts of provolone, deli ham, pepperoni, and mozzarella are not specified in the source; add enough of each to cover the dough evenly. The source indicates a 1/6-dish serving size in the video text.
