You can place a 6-inch bowl upside down in the center as a guide for a perfect circle, if you would like. [*]Layer the second tube of crescent rolls on top of the first ones with the wide side at the center of the ring, staggering them so they fill in the gaps between the first tube of rolls. Gently press the bottoms of the dough together to seal them. [*]Layer ⅓ cup cooked and crumbled Italian sausage, ½ cup pepperoni slices, and ⅓ cup diced Canadian bacon around the thick end of the crescent rolls, leaving a ½-inch gap at the thick end of the rolls.

[*]Carefully fold the pointed ends of the crescent rolls over to the center of the ring and tuck them underneath the dough to secure and seal it.
