Ingredients
Filling
- ½ cup pepperoni slices
- 4 mozzarella cheese sticks, halved
Dough & Topping
- 1 (8-ounce) can crescent rolls
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- Italian seasoning, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
Serving
- Marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Crescents: Open the 8-ounce can of crescent rolls and carefully unroll each triangle piece on a flat surface.
- Assemble Filling: Place a few slices of pepperoni on the wide side of each crescent roll triangle, spreading them evenly.
- Add Cheese: Place one halved mozzarella cheese stick atop the pepperoni on each crescent triangle.
- Roll Up: Starting at the wide end, roll the crescent triangle towards the smaller tip, enclosing the filling inside.
- Butter & Season: Brush each rolled crescent with the melted unsalted butter. Then sprinkle Italian seasoning and garlic powder evenly over them for extra flavor.
- Bake: Place the prepared rolls on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-14 minutes or until the crescent rolls turn golden brown and the cheese melts inside.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy your delicious pizza stuffed crescent rolls!
Notes
- Ensure the mozzarella sticks are halved for easy rolling and even melting inside the crescent rolls.
- Feel free to experiment with different fillings like cooked sausage, bell peppers, or mushrooms to customize your rolls.
- Brush with garlic butter instead of plain butter for an extra flavor boost.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture; these rolls are best enjoyed fresh and warm.
