Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup mini pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.25 cup optional toppings (diced bell peppers, olives, or cooked sausage)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
Spread a small amount of pizza sauce (about 1 teaspoon) on each triangle, leaving the edges uncoated to prevent leaking.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese (about 2 tablespoons per triangle) over the sauce.
Add mini pepperoni slices and any optional toppings evenly onto the triangles.
Starting from the wide end of each triangle, gently roll the dough toward the pointed end to form a crescent shape. Tuck in any toppings that spill out.
Place the rolled crescents onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with Italian seasoning and brush the mixture generously over each crescent.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the tops of the crescents for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the crescents from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with additional pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.
