Pizza Rollups Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 slices pepperoni or mini pepperoni
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Dough Triangles: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles for rolling.
- Add Pizza Sauce: Spread a thin, even layer of pizza sauce over each crescent triangle to provide the pizza base flavor.
- Add Cheese and Pepperoni: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over each sauced triangle, then place 2 slices of pepperoni per triangle to complete the toppings.
- Roll Up the Triangles: Starting from the wide end of each triangle, carefully roll them up towards the point and place them with the pointed side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them sealed during baking.
- Brush and Season: Lightly brush the tops of each rollup with melted butter (optional) and then sprinkle with garlic powder, dried oregano, and grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the rollups turn golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the rollups cool slightly before serving to avoid burns and to allow flavors to settle.
Notes
- Serve with warm marinara or ranch dipping sauce for added flavor.
- Customize by adding cooked sausage, vegetables, or using turkey pepperoni for a lighter option.
