Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Crescent Roll Dough (1 tube, about 8 oz)
  • Pepperoni Slices (24-32 slices, approximately 3-4 per roll)
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (1 cup)

Optional Ingredients

  • Marinara Sauce (for dipping, about 1 cup)
  • Butter or Olive Oil (2 tablespoons, melted for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface and separate it into triangles along the perforations to make rolling easy and uniform.
  3. Add Pepperoni and Cheese: Place 3-4 slices of pepperoni near the wide end of each triangle. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pepperoni.
  4. Roll Them Up: Starting from the wide end with the toppings, carefully roll the dough toward the pointed tip, ensuring the filling stays tucked inside to avoid leaks during baking.
  5. Optional Butter Brush: For an extra golden and crispy finish, brush the tops of the crescent rolls with melted butter or olive oil before placing them on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake: Bake rolls at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes or until they are puffed up and browned to a perfect golden color.
  7. Cool Slightly and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool for a few minutes to set the cheese. Serve warm with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use crescent dough straight from the fridge for easier rolling.
  • Do not overfill the rolls to prevent bursting during baking.
  • Space rolls evenly on the baking sheet to allow expansion.
  • Brushing with butter or olive oil enhances crust texture and color.
  • Serve the rolls warm for best flavor and texture.
