Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Roll-Ups (Makes 8 Roll-Ups)

Ingredients:

Dough:

• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  (Brands like Pillsbury work great. If using crescent dough sheets, cut into triangles.)

Filling:

• 32 slices pepperoni
  (About 4 slices per roll; use turkey pepperoni for a lighter version.)

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  (Low-moisture, part-skim melts best.)

• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  (Optional but adds great flavor — a mix of oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary.)

Topping (Optional):

• 1 tablespoon butter, melted

• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  (Mix with butter for brushing.)

For Serving:

• 1/4 to 1/2 cup pizza or marinara sauce, warmed
  (For dipping — jarred or homemade works.)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Oven & Pan

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray.

2. Prepare the Dough

• Unroll the crescent roll dough carefully on a clean surface.

• Separate it into 8 individual triangles (per the perforations).

3. Add the Filling

• On the wide end of each dough triangle:

  • Lay down 4 slices of pepperoni, slightly overlapping.

  • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella over the pepperoni.

  • Sprinkle with a pinch of Italian seasoning.

💡 Tip: Don’t overload with cheese or it may ooze out during baking.

4. Roll Them Up

• Starting from the wide end, roll the dough tightly toward the point, enclosing the filling.

• Tuck in any loose cheese or pepperoni as you go.

• Place the roll-ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

5. Add Optional Garlic Butter

• Mix melted butter and garlic powder in a small bowl.

• Brush the tops of the roll-ups lightly for a golden, flavorful crust.

6. Bake

• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

• Cheese may bubble out slightly — that’s okay!

7. Cool Slightly & Serve

• Let cool for 2–3 minutes.

• Serve warm with a side of marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
