Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dough and Fillings
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or 4 mozzarella sticks (halved)
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning optional
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese optional
For Serving
  • to taste Marinara sauce for dipping, optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
  3. On the wide end of each triangle, place 3–4 slices of pepperoni and a piece of mozzarella.
  4. Roll the dough tightly from the wide end to the tip, enclosing the filling.
  5. Sprinkle Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan over the top, if using.
Baking
  1. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  2. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Use cold crescent dough for easier handling; if it becomes too sticky, chill briefly. Seal the seam and tip firmly to prevent cheese from leaking. For extra crispness, brush tops with a little melted butter before baking. If using shredded mozzarella, leave a small gap from the edge to reduce leakage.
