Main ingredients
- 1-2 cans Crescent roll dough (Depends on your crowd)
- 24 slices Pepperoni slices (Regular or mini both work)
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese (Or a cheese blend)
- 0.5 cups Pizza sauce (Or marinara sauce)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (Optional)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder (Optional)
- 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese (Optional, for a salty finish)
- 2 tablespoons Butter or olive oil (Optional, for brushing)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to the temperature listed on the crescent roll package. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Open the dough and separate it into triangles. If the dough feels too warm and sticky, chill it in the fridge for 5 minutes.
Filling and Rolling
- On the wide end of each triangle, add a small spoonful of pizza sauce, sprinkle cheese, and top with pepperoni.
- Roll from the wide end to the point, keeping the filling tucked in.
- Arrange the rolls seam side down on the baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with butter or olive oil, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning and a pinch of Parmesan.
Baking
- Bake until they are puffed and golden, approximately 12-15 minutes.
Serving
- Let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Keep the dough cold to avoid tearing. Use parchment paper for even baking. Let rolls cool slightly after baking to prevent burning tongues.
