Ingredients
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup mini pepperoni slices
- 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 egg, beaten (optional for brushing)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface and press seams together.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle with mozzarella, mini pepperoni, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning.
- Roll the dough tightly from one long edge to the other, pinch the seam to seal, and chill for 15–30 minutes.
- Slice the dough into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick rounds and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg or melted butter and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden.
- Let cool slightly before serving, garnished with chopped parsley or basil if desired.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the filling. Use gluten-free dough for a gluten-free version. These are best served warm.
