Description

Ingredients

Units Scale

Dough

  • 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough or pizza dough

Filling

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2432 slices pepperoni (regular or turkey)
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce (plus extra for dipping)

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Dough: Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent roll or pizza dough and gently flatten it into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  2. Add the Filling: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough, avoiding the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly and layer the pepperoni slices over the cheese.
  3. Roll and Slice: Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log, keeping the filling inside. Pinch the seam and ends to seal. Slice the roll into 8 equal pieces.
  4. Bake the Roll-Ups: Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up. Brush the tops with the melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan if using. Bake for 14โ€“16 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
  5. Serve: Let the roll-ups cool slightly before serving. Offer extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute other deli meats or cheeses for variety.
  • Make ahead and reheat in the oven for 5 minutes to refresh before serving.
  • For extra crispiness, brush the tops with butter halfway through baking.
