Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 package Refrigerated Croissant Dough Use crescent roll dough for best results.
For the Filling
  • 3-4 slices Sliced Pepperoni Turkey pepperoni can be used as a lighter option.
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Freshly shredded mozzarella is recommended for optimal meltability.
For the Topping
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted) Can substitute with olive oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 large Beaten Egg Can replace with milk for a lighter sheen.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Italian Seasoning Omit if desired or use fresh herbs for a different flavor profile.
For Dipping
  • 1 cup Marinara Sauce Choose homemade or store-bought to save time.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Carefully unroll the refrigerated crescent dough on a clean surface. Cut it into 8 equal triangles.
  3. On the wide end of each triangle, place 3 or 4 slices of pepperoni followed by a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella.
  4. Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle towards the tip, tucking the edges under to seal.
  5. Arrange the rolls on the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
  6. Brush the tops with melted butter and apply a beaten egg wash. Sprinkle dried Italian seasoning if desired.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown, keeping an eye on them after 12 minutes.
  8. Once baked, remove the rolls and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Avoid overfilling the rolls to prevent cheesy eruptions. Letting them rest helps the melted mozzarella set.
