Savory Italian Sandwich Ring

Ever since I made the hot cheesy party ring I have wanted to make a sandwich using the same bread and ring  So after some thought here it is! IT IS easy and full of flavor. I will say that the next time I make it I will make it in the traditional loaf method as directed on the french bread dough instructions.  BUT… I will make not one… but TWO! 🙂

INGREDIENTS
1 tube refrigerated french bread dough
1 teaspoon melted butter
Dry Italian seasoning
3 slices mild cheddar cheese (sliced in half)
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 tomato sliced
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
12 pieces hot Calabrese
12 pieces hot Capocollo
12 pieces Pepper Salami
1/2 cup robusto Italian dressing (or any Italian dressing you have on hand)

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Take the dough out of the tube and connect the ends of the dough making a ring.  Stretch slightly.  Place dough in prepared bundt pan.  Brush the melted butter on the top of the dough and add your dry Italian seasonings on top of the butter. Bake the dough for 26-30 minutes or until the dough is brown and cooked through. Take out of the oven and cool completely on a cooling rack.

Slice dough horizontally and start to layer the sandwich.  Place the cheese on the bottom of the bread then layer all of the meat. On top of the meat add the shredded lettuce and then about 2 tablespoons of the italian dressing.  Continue layer with the onion and tomato.

On the cut side of the TOP of the bread, spread the rest of the Italian dressing. Place the top of the bread on the sandwich, slice and enjoy!
