  4. Brush the seasoned butter generously over the cut sides of each roll.
  5. Layer the sliced salami, followed by the deli-sliced ham and pepperoni on one half of each sandwich.
  6. Add layers of mozzarella and provolone cheese over the meats.
  7. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the cheese layers and add roasted red peppers, olives, and banana peppers on top.
  8. Place fresh basil leaves atop the ingredients.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is gooey and the bread is golden brown.
  10. Allow the sandwiches to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.
