Ingredients

• 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 0.5 cup pizza sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup mini pepperoni slices
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 0.25 cup optional toppings (diced bell peppers, olives, or cooked sausage)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles.

Step 3

Spread a small amount of pizza sauce (about 1 teaspoon) on each triangle, leaving the edges uncoated to prevent leaking.

Step 4

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese (about 2 tablespoons per triangle) over the sauce.

Step 5

Add mini pepperoni slices and any optional toppings evenly onto the triangles.

Step 6

Starting from the wide end of each triangle, gently roll the dough toward the pointed end to form a crescent shape. Tuck in any toppings that spill out.

Step 7

Place the rolled crescents onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with Italian seasoning and brush the mixture generously over each crescent.

Step 9

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the tops of the crescents for added flavor.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 11

Remove the crescents from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm with additional pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.
