Ingredients for Pizza Crescents
-
Canned Crescent Roll Dough
-
Pepperoni
-
Mozzarella String Cheese Sticks
-
Seasoning – Go with any of your favorite pizza seasonings and spices! For something easy, go with something like our homemade Italian Seasoning.
-
Butter – You’ll be mixing your seasonings into the butter so they’ll stick to the crescents more easily in the oven. You could also try using olive oil if you wanted.
-
Marinara/Pizza Sauce – We like to dip our Pizza Crescent Rolls in the sauce. You can try adding a bit of sauce to each crescent instead if you’d like!
How to make Pizza Crescent Rolls
-
Assemble and prep your ingredients: half your cheese sticks, unroll your crescent dough, and mix your seasonings and butter.
-
Add a few pepperoni slices and a cheese stick half to your crescents before rolling up. Brush with seasoned butter before putting in the oven.
-
Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes until browned to your liking. Serve with a bowl of pizza sauce for dipping.
Before assembling our rolls, we do have to put in a little bit of effort. Take a knife and cut your mozzarella string cheese sticks in half so they’ll fit inside our rolls. After that, melt some butter and add your seasonings to it.
Really, that’s the hardest parts done and dealt with. All that’s left is assembly. Unroll and separate your crescent roll dough into the perforated triangles. Put some pepperoni slices on there- we like about 4-5- and put a string cheese half in.
Next, roll the dough and fillings up.
Now, before we get these things baking, you’ll want to hit them with the seasoned butter. This will help them brown and also add in some of those recognizable pizza spices and flavors to the rolls.
All that’s left is to bake! At 375 degrees, these Pizza Crescent Rolls will take about 10-15 minutes. Basically, pull them when they’re browned to your liking and the cheese is a bit meltier. Let them cool for a minute or two before serving up with some warm pizza or marinara sauce- grate a bit of parmesan over the sauce if you’re feeling fancy. Dip, bite, and enjoy!
