Ingredients
Scale
For the 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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface, ensuring all the triangles face the same direction for easier assembly.
- Add Filling: Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese at the center of each triangle. Add 2 slices of pepperoni on top of the cheese, then a small dollop of pizza sauce over the pepperoni.
- Roll Up: Starting from the wide end of each triangle, roll up tightly towards the pointed end, making sure the filling stays inside. Place each rolled piece seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the pizza rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pizza rolls to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving with additional pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute pepperoni with your favorite pizza toppings such as cooked sausage, mushrooms, or olives.
- For extra crispiness, brush the rolls lightly with melted butter before baking.
- Make sure not to overfill to prevent sauce and cheese from spilling out during baking.
- These can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for best texture.
