Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 1 tube refrigerated crescent dough
Filling
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 20 slices pepperoni 20–24 slices
Topping
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 0.25 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Pastry Brush

Method
 

  1. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles.
  2. Sprinkle mozzarella and add pepperoni over each triangle.
  3. Fold and gently twist each piece, keeping the filling tucked inside and not too much outside.
  4. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and Parmesan.
  5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–16 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  6. Cool for a few minutes and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

For best results, don't overfill the dough—less filling makes the twists easier to roll and keeps the cheese from spilling out too much. Serve with marinara sauce for extra flavor.
