Steps to Make Quick & Easy Pepperoni Pizza Crescent Rolls
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two half-sheet pans with silicone baking mats or parchment paper and set aside until ready to use. Unwrap the mozzarella string cheese and cut the sticks in half; set them aside. Open one can of crescent rolls and unroll them onto a large cutting board. Then, separate the rolls into eight individual triangles along the perforated lines.
- Place the triangles close together and lightly brush the pizza sauce over the tops of the triangles.
- Place three slices of pepperoni at the wide end of the triangles.
- Place one of the mozzarella string cheese halves on top of the pepperoni.
- Starting at the wide end, carefully roll the dough forward towards the point. Tuck the sides of the roll around the cheese and pinch the dough together to ensure the cheese doesn’t leak out. Place the roll on one of the prepared pans. Then, repeat making the other seven rolls.
- Melt the butter in a small microwave bowl. Then, stir in the Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Use a silicone basting brush to brush the butter mixture over the tops of each of the rolls.
- Then, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the tops of each roll. Bake in 375°F oven for 15 minutes. While the first pan is baking, make the rest of the pizza rolls with the other can of crescent rolls.
- Remove the first pan from the oven and bake the second pan. If any of the cheese has leaked out of the ends of the rolls, use a chopstick to immediately and carefully stuff it back inside. Serve the Pepperoni Pizza Crescent Rolls with the remaining pizza sauce on the side.
