Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can pre-made crescent roll dough (approx. 8 ounces)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or fresh mozzarella slices)
  • 20–30 pepperoni slices
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)

Seasonings (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) according to the crescent roll package instructions. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Have your pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and seasonings ready for easy assembly.
  2. Assemble the Rolls: Place a few slices of mozzarella and pepperoni at the wider end of each dough triangle. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder if using. Roll each triangle from the wide end to the narrow tip, tucking sides slightly to enclose the filling.
  3. Add the Finishing Touches: Arrange the rolled croissants on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops gently with melted butter to promote golden browning.
  4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the croissants are puffed, golden, and the cheese inside has melted and become bubbly. Watch carefully to avoid overbaking.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the croissant rolls cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to set the cheese filling before serving.

Notes

  • Keep crescent roll dough cold until ready to assemble for easier rolling.
  • Do not overfill with cheese or pepperoni to prevent leaks.
  • If using fresh mozzarella, pat slices dry to avoid sogginess.
  • Leave some space around the edges when adding cheese to help seal rolls properly.
  • Brushing with butter creates a crispy, golden-brown crust and enhances flavor.
