Savory Sandwich Ring

Place both loaves of dough seam side down on a greased 14″ pizza pan, forming one large ring. Then pinch the ends together to seal. With a sharp knife, make eight 1/2″ deep slashes across the top of the dough. Set aside.

Mix garlic into the olive oil. Brush the mixture on the top of the bread and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes or until golden. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

To assemble, cut bread in half horizontally. Brush the cut sides with salad dressing. Layer the bottom half with turkey, roast beef, ham, cheese, lettuce, onion, green pepper and tomato. Then replace the top half of the bread. Serve immediately.

Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Yields 8-10 servings.

Note: To kick up the sandwich, after brushing the cut sides of the bread with Italian dressing, add your favorite mustard (we LOVE jalapeno mustard!) to one cut side of the bread and mayonnaise and Miracle Whip on the other cut side.
