Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 0.5 cup Marinara or pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Sliced pepperoni
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 can Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lightly spraying it with non-stick cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a clean surface to prevent sticking, then carefully unroll the crescent roll dough into a large rectangle. Press the seams together gently to seal.
Spread the marinara or pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border clean around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the surface of the dough. Then, layer the sliced pepperoni, ensuring they're spread out evenly.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, dried Italian seasoning, and garlic powder over the top of the pepperoni and cheese.
Starting from one of the long edges, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Use your hands to compress gently as you roll to ensure even layers.
Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut the log into 12 equal slices.
Arrange the pinwheels onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least an inch apart to allow for expansion while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden-brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the pinwheels cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with additional marinara sauce for dipping if desired.
