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 prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface, arranging the triangles so they all point in the same direction for easy rolling.
  3. Add Filling: Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each triangle, followed by 2 slices of pepperoni, then add a small dollop of pizza sauce to enhance flavor.
  4. Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle tightly toward the pointed end, ensuring the seam is on the bottom to seal the roll and prevent filling from leaking out during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the pizza rolls to cool slightly before serving. Offer additional pizza sauce on the side for dipping to boost the classic pizza flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overfill the rolls to prevent filling from spilling during baking.
  • You can substitute pepperoni with other cured meats or vegetables for different variations.
  • Use refrigerated pizza sauce or marinara for convenience.
  • These pizza rolls are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven for a crispy texture.
