Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Unroll the dough and separate into 8 triangles.
Blot pepperoni with a paper towel to reduce excess oil.
Sprinkle each triangle with mozzarella, then add a few pepperoni slices near the wide end.
Roll up from the wide end to the tip. Tuck the sides slightly to seal in the filling.
Brush tops with melted butter. Mix Italian seasoning and garlic powder; sprinkle over rolls, then add Parmesan and red pepper if using.
Bake 10–12 minutes until puffed and deeply golden and cheese is melted.
Cool 3 minutes. Serve warm with heated pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
Variation: Swap mozzarella with provolone, or tuck in a few sliced olives or jalapeños. For a garlic-bread vibe, add a pinch of dried parsley to the butter. Storage: Cool completely, refrigerate up to 3 days, and reheat at 350°F for 6–8 minutes. Freeze baked rolls up to 1 month; reheat from frozen at 325°F for 15–18 minutes.This recipe is an original creation inspired by classic Easy Pepperoni Pizza Crescent Rolls flavors.
