Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package store-bought crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (fresh preferred)
  • 3–4 slices of pepperoni per dough triangle

Optional Ingredients

  • Parmesan cheese, grated, for topping
  • Italian seasoning, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven according to the crescent roll dough package instructions. Gather mozzarella, pepperoni, and any optional seasonings or extras you want to add.
  2. Unroll and Slice the Dough: Open the crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into triangles as indicated on the package.
  3. Add Cheese and Pepperoni: Place a few slices (about 1/4 cup) of shredded mozzarella and 3-4 slices of pepperoni on the wider end of each dough triangle. Optionally, add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or some Parmesan cheese.
  4. Roll Them Up: Carefully roll the dough from the wide end toward the point, fully enclosing the cheese and pepperoni. Pinch the edges tightly to seal and prevent leaks.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the rolls are puffy and golden brown.
  6. Cool Slightly and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving to enjoy optimal texture and avoid mouth burns from hot cheese.

Notes

  • Keep the crescent roll dough cold until just before rolling for easier handling and better texture.
  • Do not overfill the rolls with cheese or pepperoni to avoid leakage and sogginess during baking.
  • Seal all dough edges tightly by pinching to prevent the rolls from opening up while baking.
  • Use a preheated baking stone or heavy baking tray for a crispier bottom crust.
  • Check the rolls a few minutes before the recommended baking time as oven temperatures can vary to prevent burning.
