These Pizza Crescent Rolls are exactly what you want when you are craving pizza night but don’t feel like making a whole pie, and you are going to love how quickly they come together.
Buttery crescent dough gets wrapped around gooey mozzarella and pepperoni, so every single bite tastes like a mini slice of pizza. They bake up golden and flaky in just 15 minutes, which makes them perfect for a fast weeknight snack or a party appetizer tray. And with 16 rolls in one batch, they are easy to double for a crowd or keep on hand for after school snacking.
Helpful Tips
- Seal the edges well: Make sure to tuck the pepperoni and mozzarella in as you roll so the cheese doesn’t ooze out and burn on the baking sheet while they cook.
- Don’t skip the egg wash: Brushing the tops with egg before baking gives these rolls that beautiful golden brown, bakery-style shine.
- Add Parmesan at the end: Sprinkling the Parmesan cheese on right after baking, rather than before, keeps it from browning too much and lets its flavor really shine.
