Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

What You’ll Need:

• 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count)
• ½ cup pizza sauce (plus more for dipping)
• ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 24–32 slices pepperoni (3–4 per roll-up)
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• Optional: dried oregano or Italian seasoning for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare Roll-Ups

Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each triangle. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and place 3–4 pepperoni slices on the wide end of each triangle.

Step 3: Roll and Arrange

Roll up each triangle starting from the wide end toward the tip, like a crescent. Place on the baking sheet seam-side down.

Step 4: Season and Bake

Brush each roll with melted butter. Sprinkle with garlic powder and (optional) oregano.

Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Serve

Serve warm with extra pizza sauce or ranch dressing on the side.

Recipe Tips & Variations

• Add extra cheese: Use string cheese for an extra gooey center.
• Make it spicy: Add jalapeño slices or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper.
• Stuff with veggies: Include chopped bell peppers, olives, or mushrooms.
• Use puff pastry: For an ultra-flaky version, substitute crescent dough with puff pastry.
• Dip ideas: Marinara, ranch, garlic butter, or even hot honey!

Storage & Meal Prep

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Pop in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5 minutes.
