Equipment
- 1 baking sheet lightly greased or lined with parchment paper
- 1 oven preheated to 350°F
Ingredients
- 1 8 oz package refrigerated crescent-roll or pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese optional
- 20 –30 slices pepperoni
- a few tablespoons grated Parmesan or other hard cheese optional
- pizza or marinara sauce warmed, for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
- Unroll the dough and separate it into individual triangles or rectangular pieces, depending on the dough type.
- Place a small amount of shredded cheese on each dough piece, then add 2-3 slices of pepperoni and sprinkle Parmesan or extra cheese if desired.
- Roll each piece of dough tightly from the wide end toward the point, then place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until the dough is golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow roll-ups to cool for a few minutes before serving warm, ideally with warm pizza or marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Add pizza sauce under cheese for extra flavor.
- Sprinkle dried herbs or chili flakes before rolling for added taste.
- Brush roll-ups with olive oil or melted butter for a crispier crust.
- Double ingredients to serve more people.
