Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (8 oz) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 24 slices Turkey pepperoni
  • 4 Mozzarella string cheese sticks cut in half lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons Pizza sauce optional, for rolling
  • 1 tablespoon Melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
  • Grated Parmesan cheese optional, for topping
  • Extra pizza or marinara sauce for dipping

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Open the can of refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.
  3. If using, spread about ½ teaspoon of pizza sauce over the wide end of each triangle to add moisture and flavor.
  4. Layer 3 slices of turkey pepperoni on the wide end of each triangle, then add half of a mozzarella string cheese stick to each.
  5. Roll each triangle from the wide end toward the point, tucking in any filling that might spill out, and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Optionally, dust grated Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melty and bubbly.
  8. Serve warm with extra pizza or marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
