Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 0.25 cup marinara sauce
- 0.75 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 pieces pepperoni slices
- 1 large, beaten egg
- 0.5 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and unroll the crescent roll dough, keeping it in one rectangular sheet. Pinch the perforations together to seal them.
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Arrange the pepperoni slices in a single layer over the cheese.
Starting from one of the shorter edges, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 8 equal pieces and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the beaten egg and sprinkle with dried Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the pinwheels cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
