Ingredients
  

1 package of crescent roll dough (8 oz)

1 cup sliced pepperoni

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Olive oil spray

Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Crescent Roll Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into triangles. You should have 8 triangles in total.

      Add Fillings: On the wider end of each triangle, layer 3 or 4 pieces of pepperoni and a generous tablespoon of mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the cheese for added flavor.

        Roll Them Up: Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip, enclosing the filling. Pinch the ends to seal tightly, ensuring the cheese doesn’t leak during baking.

          Apply the Egg Wash: Place the rolled pizza bites on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart. Brush each roll with the beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden-brown finish.

            Spray with Olive Oil: Lightly spray the tops of the rolls with olive oil for an extra crispy texture.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

                Serve: Remove the pizza rolls from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve them warm with marinara sauce for dipping. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
