Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 30 slices sliced pepperoni
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for surface)
- 1 burst non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Roll out the crescent roll dough into a large, rectangular sheet. Press together any seams to create a uniform sheet of dough.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border of about 1/4 inch around the edges.
Arrange the pepperoni slices in a single layer over the mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder evenly over the pepperoni layer.
Starting from one of the longer edges, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, ensuring that the filling stays in place. Pinch the seam of the dough to seal the log securely.
Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled log into approximately 1-inch thick pieces, creating pinwheels.
Place the pinwheels flat-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pinwheels to cool slightly for 2–3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Pepperoni Pinwheels!
