Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into the pre-cut triangles.
- Spread a small spoonful of pizza sauce onto each triangle.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Add several pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.
- Roll each triangle starting from the wide end toward the tip to form a crescent roll.
- Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet with space between them.
- Bake for about 12 minutes until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm with additional pizza sauce for dipping if desired.
Notes
- Use a small amount of sauce so the dough stays flaky and does not become soggy.
- Leave a little space between each roll so they bake evenly and become nicely golden.
- These rolls can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes for the best texture.
