Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tube Pillsbury Crescents
  • 1 cup Pepperoni
  • 1 cup Pizza sauce or marinara
  • 1 cup Shredded cheese I used mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Parsley Optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Open the tube of Pillsbury Crescents (brace yourself, the popping always does a number on my nervous system and makes me jump every time) and separate them.
  2. Spoon about 1 tbsp of pizza sauce on the wide end of the crescent (see pictures above if needed). Add some pepperoni. Add cheese. Roll from the thick end towards the thin end, tucking in any filling that may come loose.
  3. Place on a parchment paper covered sheet pan.
  4. Melt the butter and mix together the butter, garlic powder, and parsley. Brush the tops of the crescents with the butter mixture. Bake in the oven at 375F for 12-17 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown. Be careful not to burn the bottoms (I noticed mine were getting a little dark after 15 minutes, but it depends on your oven).
  5. Let cool, and then dip in your favorite sauce such as more pizza sauce.
