Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup mini pepperoni slices

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, unroll the crescent roll dough. Separate the triangles at the perforations.

      Assemble the Pizza Bites: Place a teaspoon of pizza sauce at the wide end of each triangle of dough. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, followed by a few mini pepperoni slices. Add a pinch of Italian seasoning for extra flavor.

        Roll and Shape: Starting from the wide end, roll the triangle up towards the pointed end to create a bite-sized pizza roll. Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet.

          Add Toppings: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and garlic powder. Brush the tops of each roll with the olive oil mixture and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese if using.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown and puffed.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a touch of color and flavor.

                Enjoy: Serve with additional pizza sauce for dipping!
