DAILY RECIPE JANUARY 8TH SAVORY SANDWICH RING

Savory Sandwich Ring

I first made this alternative to a submarine sandwich for a party. It looks appetizing and tastes great! Now it's a mainstay on my menu plan for gatherings or when my family is tired of ordinary meat-and-cheese sandwiches.

8-10 ServingsPrep: 20 min. Bake: 25 min. + cooling
Ingredients
2 tubes (11 ounces each) crusty French bread dough
2 teaspoons Crisco® Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Canola Oil
3 garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/3 cup Italian salad dressing( I use Beano's submarine dressing instead)
1/2 pound thinly sliced deli ham
1/4 pound sliced process American or Swiss cheese, halved
1/4 to 1/2 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef or turkey( I like to use Both Ham and turkey or Ham and roast beef, I use like like to make half on one side and half on the other that way people that just want turkey can just get turkey)
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 medium green pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
Directions
Place both loaves of dough seam side down on a greased 14-in. pizza
pan, forming one large ring; pinch ends to seal. With a sharp knife,
make eight 1/2-in.-deep slashes across the top of dough; lightly
brush with oil.
Spread garlic over oil; sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Bake at
350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 10
minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

To assemble, cut bread in half horizontally. Brush salad dressing
