Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (8-oz) can refrigerated crescent rolls
- 40 slices pepperoni
- 4 pieces mozzarella string cheese, cut in half
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- Pizza sauce, for serving
- 2 Tbsp garlic butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC) to prepare for baking the roll-ups.
- Prepare Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles. On each triangle, layer 5 slices of pepperoni evenly, then place half a piece of mozzarella string cheese on top. Carefully roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end, to encase the fillings.
- Season and Bake: Sprinkle the assembled rolls lightly with garlic powder for added flavor. Arrange them on a baking sheet, ensuring they have space to expand. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed up and golden brown on top.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the melted garlic butter to add richness and a delicious garlic aroma.
- Serve: Serve the warm crescent pepperoni roll-ups alongside a side of warm pizza sauce for dipping, enhancing the pizza-inspired taste experience.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, use spicy pepperoni or add red pepper flakes.
- Ensure the mozzarella is well sealed inside the dough to prevent leaking during baking.
- These roll-ups are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
- Garlic butter can be made by melting butter with minced garlic for enhanced flavor.
