Crescent Roll Pepperoni Pizza Pinwheels Recipe
Whether you are looking for something on the go, an appetizer for an upcoming football party, or a comforting family dinner, these crescent roll pizza pinwheels are an easy way to please any age group.
Equipment
- Sharp knife
- Plastic wrap
- Small bowl
- Large baking sheet
Ingredients
- One package crescent roll sheet If you can't find the crescent roll sheet, you can use a can of crescent biscuits and pinch the seams together
- ½ cup marinara sauce You can use your favorite marinara sauce or pizza sauce. I had even used spaghetti sauce when that was what I had on hand.
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese I always use whole milk mozzarella cheese. However, I have also used part skim when I was watching my calories.
- 10 pepperoni slices finely chopped - Use your favorite pepperoni, whether it's Hormel or Margarita.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Unroll the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface or sheet of parchment paper.
- Spread the marinara sauce in an even layer over the top of the dough.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the sauce.
- Add the pepperoni to the top of the cheese.
- Starting with the long side, roll the dough up into a long log.
- Place the roll in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes. This will help you cut it without squishing it.
- Then, use a sharp, serrated knife to cut the log into 10, 1-inch slices.
- Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the crescents for 10 to 12 minutes until the dough is golden brown.
- Serve immediately.
