Description
Golden, buttery crescents cradle melting mozzarella, zesty pizza sauce, and pepperoni spiced with garlic and Italian herbs. Perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and gooey inside.
Ingredients
- 1 package crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 slices pepperoni
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface and separate into triangles.
- Spread about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce onto each triangle, leaving a small border at the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce on each triangle.
- Place 2 to 3 pepperoni slices on top of the cheese for each triangle.
- Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning over each prepared triangle.
- Roll up each triangle starting from the wide end toward the pointed end and place seam side down on the baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil to encourage browning.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- For a crispier crust brush with a beaten egg instead of olive oil.
- Use fresh mozzarella slices instead of shredded for extra gooeyness.
- Serve with warm marinara or ranch dressing for dipping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
