Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Roll Dough

  • 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough

Filling

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 20 slices pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce (for filling)

For Serving

  • Additional pizza sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean, flat surface, making sure all the triangular sections face the same direction for consistent rolling.
  3. Add Filling: Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese at the center of each crescent triangle. Layer 2 slices of pepperoni on top of the cheese, and add a small dollop of pizza sauce over the pepperoni for a flavorful filling.
  4. Roll the Crescents: Starting from the wide end of each triangle, roll tightly towards the pointed end to encase the filling securely. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to prevent unrolling during baking.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the rolls turn golden brown and the cheese inside becomes bubbly, indicating they are fully cooked.
  6. Serve: Allow the pizza rolls to cool slightly after baking. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping to enjoy the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure to seal the crescent rolls tightly to prevent any filling from leaking while baking.
  • You can substitute pepperoni with other favorite toppings like cooked sausage, mushrooms, or veggies for variety.
  • For extra crispiness, brush the tops lightly with melted butter before baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to retain crispness.
