Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped fresh basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the olive oil mixture evenly over the puff pastry.
Layer the salami, ham, pepperoni, provolone cheese, black olives, and banana peppers on top of the olive oil mixture.
Starting from one end, tightly roll up the puff pastry, making sure to seal the edges.
Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled pastry into 1-inch thick squares.
Arrange the squares on the baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Expert Tips for Success:
– Make sure to thaw the puff pastry according to the package instructions before using it.
– For extra flavor, brush the top of the puff pastry squares with beaten egg before baking.
– Feel free to get creative with the toppings. Add your favorite Italian herbs, like oregano or rosemary, for an extra burst of flavor.
