- 1/2 cup marinara sauce for dipping
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning optional

- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with cooking spray.
- Open the can of crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it onto a flat surface, separating it into individual triangle pieces.
- On each triangle, place about 5-6 pepperoni slices and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese at the wider end.
- If using, sprinkle a little Italian seasoning for added flavor.
- Roll each triangle from the wide end to the pointy end, making sure to tuck in the sides as you roll to create a sealed edge.
- Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have space between them to allow for rising.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- While the rolls are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan on low heat for dipping.
- Once baked, let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving them with the warm marinara sauce.

Pepperoni Pizza Crescent Rolls are versatile; they can be enjoyed as a family dinner or a delightful appetizer for gatherings. They are best served warm, straight from the oven.
