Mozzarella Pepperoni Croissant Rolls


  • Author: Monica
  • Total Time: 25 min

Description

Flaky, golden croissants wrapped around gooey mozzarella and zesty pepperoni—these rolls are like pizza in pastry form. Great for dipping in marinara or serving warm right out of the oven!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count)

  • 8 mozzarella sticks (or cut block mozzarella into 3-inch strips)

  • 32 slices of pepperoni (4 per roll)

  • 1 tbsp melted butter

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning

  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

  • Marinara sauce for dipping


Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C): Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2️⃣ Prepare the rolls: Separate the crescent dough into 8 triangles. On each triangle, layer 4 pepperoni slices and 1 mozzarella stick at the wide end.

3️⃣ Roll them up: Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle toward the tip, wrapping tightly around the cheese and pepperoni.

4️⃣ Season: Place the rolls on the baking sheet. Mix melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning, then brush over the tops of each roll. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan if desired.

5️⃣ Bake for 12–15 minutes: Or until golden brown and the cheese is just starting to ooze.

 

6️⃣ Serve warm: Pair with warm marinara sauce for dipping!

Notes

  • For a spicy twist, use spicy pepperoni or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter topping.

  • These are best served fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer for crispiness.

 

  • Add a few basil leaves or a dab of pizza sauce inside for a flavor boost.
