Hoagie Bake

This can make a good change-of-pace lunch, or as we originally used it for, it can be good party food on a buffet. I'm giving you the real recipe, but I use whatever meats and cheeses I have on hand. It's flexible.

I, as you might suspect, usually use homemade dough. If I were really busy and doing this for a party or something I would be more likely to ...buy my dough. Gulp.

Also if I were feeding fewer than 7-8 people, as I often do, I would make a smaller batch- half or even less. It wouldn't be hard to do a single serving.

2 tubes crescent roll dough OR 1 recipe basic bread dough

¼ lb salami

¼ lb pepperoni slices

¼ lb ham

8 slices provolone

8 slices swiss OR cheddar

Italian dressing (optional)

2 eggs

2 T parmesan

Garlic powder

Hmmm. I'm not sure why it's double spacing the ingredients. Maybe it won't look like this after it's posted??? Anyway...

In a greased 9x13* press together/ roll out and lay half of your dough. Layer on one kind of cheese, the meats and the remaining cheese slices. Spread with Italian dressing to taste and half the beaten eggs. Cover with the second half of the dough. Brush with remaining eggs and sprinkle with parmesan and garlic to taste. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Cover with foil and bake for 10 more minutes.

*When I used my bread dough I also used a 10x15 pan. I forgot to state this before, thus Abby's very puffy/bready ones. I would say if you don't use a bigger pan, that you will probably want to use part of your dough to make rolls or something! : )
