Glaze:
4 Tbs. Butter

Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  While keeping the rolls intact, cut them in half.  Place bottom half of the rolls in a  greased 9X13 pan.  Evenly spread pesto on the bottom half of rolls.  Layer ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes.  Place top half of rolls over everything.  Melt butter in microwave safe dish and then mix in italian seasoning and garlic powder.  Brush glaze over rolls and cover with foil. Bake covered at 350 for 25 minutes then remove foil and cook an additional 10 minutes.  Cut individual rolls with a sharp knife and serve.
