By treadinger

Ingredients

• 1 medium onion, sliced and separated into rings
• 1 medium green pepper, sliced into rings
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 loaves (16 ounces each) frozen bread dough, thawed
• 1/2 pound thinly sliced hard salami
• 1/2 pound thinly sliced deli ham
• 8 ounces sliced part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 pound sliced mild cheddar cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon poppy seeds

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, saute onion and green pepper in butter until crisp-tender; set aside.

On two greased baking sheets, roll each loaf of dough into a 15-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Arrange the salami, ham and cheeses lengthwise over half of each rectangle to within 1/2 in. of edges. Top with onion mixture; sprinkle with the Italian seasoning, garlic powder and pepper. Fold dough over filling; pinch edges to seal.

Brush with egg and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
