Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Crescent roll dough (1 package, typically 8 rolls)
  • Pepperoni slices (about 16–24 slices)
  • Mozzarella cheese (about 1 cup shredded or thinly sliced)

Optional Ingredients

  • Butter (2 tablespoons melted, for brushing)
  • Italian seasoning or dried oregano (1 teaspoon, for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for even baking that results in golden brown, flaky rolls.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into the individual triangles, laying them flat on a clean work surface for easy filling and rolling.
  3. Add the Ingredients: Place one or two slices of pepperoni near the widest part of each dough triangle. Top with a generous strip or handful of mozzarella cheese. Optionally, sprinkle Italian seasoning or dried oregano over the cheese for added flavor.
  4. Roll Up the Crescents: Starting at the wide end, gently roll each triangle toward the pointed end, enclosing the fillings neatly inside. Place the rolled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
  5. Optional Butter Brush: Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter to enhance browning and add richness to the crust.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the melty cheese without burning your mouth.

Notes

  • Use cold crescent dough for easier handling and flakier texture.
  • Do not overfill with cheese or pepperoni to prevent leakage during baking.
  • Always line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick mat to avoid sticking.
  • Let the rolls cool for a few minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set slightly.
  • For garnish, sprinkle chopped fresh basil or parsley on top after baking for added aroma and presentation.
