Scale
Dough
- 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough or pizza dough
Filling
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 24–32 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 14โ16 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
- 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.
