Ingredients You’ll Need
Each ingredient in this recipe works together to give these Pizza Roll Ups their signature taste and texture:
Crescent Roll Dough (1 can): The base of the roll-up! Crescent rolls provide a buttery, flaky exterior that’s perfect for encasing the pizza fillings.
Pepperoni (1 package): Adds a classic pizza flavor and just the right amount of spice. You can also substitute with mini pepperonis or turkey pepperoni.
Mozzarella Cheese Sticks (1 package): Melts beautifully inside the roll-up. Each cheese stick is cut in half for the perfect amount of gooeyness.
Butter (2 tbsp, melted): Used for brushing the tops after baking, giving the roll-ups a rich and golden finish.
Garlic Powder (1 tsp): Adds a savory flavor that pairs well with the buttery crust and cheese.
Italian Seasoning (1 tsp): A blend of herbs that brings out the pizza flavors and adds a bit of extra seasoning.
How to Make Pizza Roll Ups
Ingredients
1 can crescent rolls
1 package pepperoni
1 package mozzarella cheese sticks (cut in half)
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Assemble the Roll Ups: Take one crescent dough triangle and place 5-6 pepperoni slices evenly on it. Place half of a mozzarella cheese stick on top of the pepperoni, then roll up the dough like a traditional crescent roll.
Bake: Place each roll-up on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Add Garlic Butter Topping: While the roll-ups are baking, melt the butter and mix in the garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Once the roll-ups are out of the oven, brush each with the garlic butter mixture.
Serve: Enjoy the Pizza Roll Ups warm, and pair with marinara sauce for dipping if desired!
Tips for Making the Best Pizza Roll Ups
Seal the Edges: When rolling up the crescent dough, be sure to pinch the edges slightly to help prevent any cheese from leaking out.
Brush with Seasoned Butter: Don’t skip the final butter brush! It enhances the flavor and gives a lovely, golden appearance.
Serve Warm: These Pizza Roll Ups are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while the cheese is still gooey and melted.
