Pepperoni Crescent Rolls

Pepperoni Crescent Rolls

Pepperoni Crescent Rolls are a quick and easy snack or party appetizer featuring flaky buttery crescent dough filled with spicy pepperoni and gooey mozzarella cheese. These flavorful rolls bake up golden and melt in your mouth, perfect for any occasion from casual get-togethers to festive celebrations.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 rolls

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Crescent Roll Dough (1 package, usually 8 oz)
  • Pepperoni Slices (1 package, about 20-30 slices)
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (1 cup)
  • Pizza Sauce (Optional, 1/4 cup)
  • Italian Seasoning (1 tsp)
  • Egg Wash (Optional, 1 beaten egg)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) as per crescent dough package instructions. Lay out crescent dough triangles on a clean surface, keeping them separate.
  2. Add Cheese and Pepperoni: Place 1-2 slices of pepperoni on each dough triangle. Top with a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese. Add a spoonful of pizza sauce and a pinch of Italian seasoning if desired.
  3. Roll and Seal: Starting from the wider end of each triangle, carefully roll up the dough, tucking in the edges to seal the fillings inside and prevent leaks during baking.
  4. Optional Egg Wash and Bake: Lightly brush each roll with beaten egg for a shiny golden crust. Arrange rolls spaced evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until puffed up and golden brown.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let rolls cool for a few minutes so the cheese sets slightly. Serve warm for the best gooey, melty experience.

Notes

  • Let crescent dough sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before rolling to prevent tearing.
  • Do not overfill rolls to avoid filling leaks during baking.
  • Space rolls evenly on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and browning.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
  • Best served warm right out of the oven for maximum gooeyness.
