Ingredients
For the rolls
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or 4 mozzarella sticks (halved) If using sticks, halve them.
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning (optional) For added flavor.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
- On the wide end of each triangle, place 3–4 slices of pepperoni and a piece of mozzarella.
- Roll the dough tightly from the wide end to the tip, enclosing the filling.
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan over the top, if using.
Baking
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
Serving
- Serve warm on a plate with a small bowl of marinara sauce. They are good with a side salad or raw veggies.
Notes
Use tight rolls so the cheese does not leak out. If using shredded cheese, place it in the center and cover with pepperoni. Brush a little melted butter on top before baking for a shinier crust. If the tips open, press them closed with a fork or tuck them under. Watch the oven in the last minutes so they do not burn.
