Ingredients
– 1 can of crescent rolls (8 triangles)
– 24 slices (about 5 oz) pepperoni
– 2 oz shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1/2 cup)
– 1 cup marinara or pizza sauce, heated for dipping
Instructions
1-Preheat and Prepare the Oven: First, preheat the oven to 375Β°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking. This preparation ensures even baking and easy cleanup, letting you focus on the fun part of assembling the rolls. Taking this extra minute helps achieve that perfect golden brown finish.
2-Unroll and Assemble the Dough: Next, separate the crescent dough into 8 triangles and pat each one slightly larger for more room to add fillings. Place 3 overlapping pepperoni slices on the center of each triangle, followed by about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese sprinkled over the top. This layering step is where the pizza magic happens, mixing flavors in every bite.
2-Unroll and Assemble the Dough: After adding the cheese, consider optional customizations like swapping pepperoni for other toppings to keep things fresh. Roll up each triangle from the shortest side to the opposite tip, making sure the point side is down on the baking sheet. Space them evenly to allow for proper browning, which takes about 12 to 15 minutes in the oven.
3-Bake and Serve: Once assembled, bake the rolls until they turn golden brown and the cheese melts perfectly inside. Let them cool slightly before serving warm with heated marinara or pizza sauce for dipping, turning your kitchen into a pizza parlor. This recipeβs total time of 30 minutes, including 15 minutes of prep, makes it ideal for busy schedules.
