Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package crescent roll dough
- 24 pepperoni slices
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Cheese Topping:
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 375°F and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll package and separate each triangle on a clean surface.
- Distribute 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese across the wide end of every triangle.
- Layer 3-4 pepperoni slices directly on top of the cheese layer.
- Roll the triangle from the wide end towards the pointed tip, ensuring cheese and pepperoni stay tucked inside.
- Position the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart.
- Use a pastry brush to coat each roll with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Evenly sprinkle ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese over the rolls.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 375°F oven and bake for 12-14 minutes until your rolls turn golden and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let the rolls rest for 3-4 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- Always use cold crescent roll dough straight from the refrigerator to help maintain the crispy texture and prevent spreading during baking.
- For a lighter version, replace pepperoni with turkey pepperoni and use reduced-fat mozzarella cheese to cut down on calories.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like provolone or sharp cheddar to customize the flavor profile of your rolls.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before serving to allow the cheese to set and prevent burning your mouth with hot melted cheese.
