Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough 8 count package
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or 4 mozzarella sticks, halved
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning optional
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese optional
  • Marinara sauce for dipping, optional

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated lines. If the dough tears, pinch it back together.
  3. On the wide end of each triangle, place 3 to 4 slices of pepperoni and either 2 tablespoons shredded cheese or half a mozzarella stick.
  4. Roll the dough tightly from the wide end to the tip, gently tucking in the sides as you go to enclose the filling securely.
  5. Place rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each roll.
  6. Sprinkle Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan over the top if using.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbling.
  8. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Storage: Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in 350°F oven for 5 to 7 minutes. Freezing: Freeze unbaked rolls for up to 2 months; bake from frozen adding 5 extra minutes. Pro Tips: Roll tightly to prevent leaks. Don't overfill. Serve immediately while cheese is gooey. Customize with mushrooms, olives, or other toppings.
