Description
A delightful snack made with crescent roll dough, filled with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni, perfect for dipping in marinara sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into sticks
- 24 slices of pepperoni
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Open the package of crescent roll dough and carefully unroll the dough on a clean surface. Separate the dough into triangles based on the perforated lines.
- Assemble the Filling: Place a slice of pepperoni at the wider end of each triangle, followed by a stick of mozzarella cheese. You can place an additional slice of pepperoni on top of the cheese for extra flavor.
- Season the Filling: Sprinkle a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the filling.
- Roll the Croissants: Starting from the wide edge of the triangle, roll the dough tightly around the filling, ensuring that the filling is well-encased. Place the croissant roll seam-side down on the lined baking sheet.
- Apply the Egg Wash: Using a brush, apply the beaten egg over each croissant roll to give them a beautiful golden finish as they bake.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the croissant rolls are golden brown and flaky.
- Serve: Once done, remove the croissant rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy your delicious Mozzarella Pepperoni Croissant Rolls!
