Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 rolls) Crescent roll dough
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
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 triangles according to the pre-cut lines.
Place a triangle of dough on the baking sheet. Spread about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce on the wide end of the triangle, leaving the edges clear.
Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Place 2 slices of pepperoni on top of the cheese. Add a pinch of Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
Starting at the wide end of the triangle, carefully roll the dough towards the pointed end, tucking in the toppings as you go. Pinch the edges slightly to seal the roll.
Repeat the process for the remaining 7 triangles of dough.
Brush the tops of the rolled crescents with olive oil and sprinkle them with a mixture of Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and any remaining Italian seasoning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove the crescents from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with additional pizza sauce for dipping if desired.
