Pizza Rolls with Crescent Rolls Recipe

5 from 17 reviews

These Pizza Rolls made with crescent roll dough are a delicious and easy appetizer or snack, featuring gooey mozzarella cheese, savory pepperoni, and flavorful pizza sauce all wrapped in a flaky golden crust.

Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Rolls

  • 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough
  • 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) to ensure it is ready to bake the pizza rolls to a perfect golden brown.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles along the perforations.
  3. Add Fillings: On the wider end of each triangle, place about 1 slice of pepperoni, a spoonful of pizza sauce, and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  4. Roll the Dough: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll each triangle up towards the point, making sure the fillings stay inside and the dough is sealed to prevent leaking during baking.
  5. Bake the Rolls: Place the rolled dough pieces seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let the pizza rolls cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with additional pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • You can customize the filling by adding vegetables like sliced bell peppers or olives for extra flavor.
  • For a crispier crust, brush the tops with melted butter before baking.
  • If you prefer a spicier roll, substitute regular pepperoni with spicy pepperoni or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • These pizza rolls are best eaten fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
