Description

These homemade pizza rolls are crispy on the outside, cheesy and saucy on the inside. Perfect for game day, after-school snacks, or whenever you’re craving something delicious and easy. Made with simple ingredients and ready in under 30 minutes!


Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 count)

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni or chopped regular pepperoni

  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)

  • Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.

  2. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles.

  3. Spread about 1 tsp of pizza sauce on each triangle, staying away from the edges.

  4. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni.

  5. Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end to the point, just like a crescent roll.

  6. Place on the baking sheet, point-side down.

  7. (Optional) Brush the tops with a beaten egg and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.

  9. Let cool for a couple minutes before serving. Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping!


Notes

  • Swap pepperoni for mushrooms, bell peppers, or cooked sausage.

  • These freeze well—bake, cool, and freeze in a single layer. Reheat in the oven or air fryer.

 

  • Great with ranch or garlic butter dip!
