Number Of Ingredients 8

1 Pillsbury French or Italian loaf tube or pizza crust tube
6 ounces deli hard salami, sliced
6 ounces deli ham, sliced
6 slices provolone cheese
3 tablespoons roasted red pepper, diced
2 stalks green onion, diced (green portion only)
Egg white
Poppy seeds

Steps:

Heat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Unroll French loaf on greased baking sheet and spread to a rectangular shape. Place ham and salami down the center of bread. Top with diced pepper and green onion. Cover with Provolone cheese, overlapping slices a little. Make slits in bread to make eight 3" cuts into dough. Fold dough strips up across meat and cheese, alternating sides, to make a braided top. Pinch the ends. Brush the braid with egg white, then sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cut slices and serve warm.
