Dough
- 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough
Filling
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 slices pepperoni
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce (for filling)
Serving
- Additional pizza sauce (for dipping)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the pizza rolls.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles as per the package instructions.
- Add Filling: Spoon about a teaspoon of pizza sauce onto the wide end of each dough triangle, then add a few slices of pepperoni and a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll each triangle up toward the pointed end, sealing the edges gently to keep the filling inside but not too tightly to avoid bursting.
- Bake: Place the rolled pizza triangles seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with additional pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- You can add other fillings such as cooked sausage, diced bell peppers, or mushrooms for variety.
- For a crispier crust, brush the tops of the rolls with a little olive oil or melted butter before baking.
- Make sure not to overfill the rolls to prevent leaking during baking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best texture.
