Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
- 24 slices pepperoni (3 per roll)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional)
- Pizza sauce, for dipping
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles.
- Layer the fillings: Place 3 pepperoni slices on the wide end of each triangle, then sprinkle mozzarella on top.
- Roll it up from the wide end toward the tip, keeping the cheese tucked inside.
- Brush each roll with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan for extra flavor.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling out slightly.
- Cool slightly, then serve warm with a side of pizza sauce for dipping.
Pro Tips:
- Make ahead: Assemble and refrigerate up to 6 hours before baking.
- Switch it up: Try cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack for a spicy twist.
- Party idea: Cut each roll in half for bite-sized appetizers.
