Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated croissant dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 24–32 slices pepperoni
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Open the can of croissant dough and unroll it. Separate into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.
- Lay 3–4 pepperoni slices on each triangle, focusing on the wider end. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella over the pepperoni.
- Starting at the wide end, roll up each triangle toward the point. Place each roll on the prepared baking sheet, point side down. Space them out to allow for puffing.
- Melt the butter in a small bowl and stir in the Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling out the sides.
- Let the rolls cool on the baking sheet for 3–5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Keep croissant dough chilled for easier handling. Don’t overfill with cheese or pepperoni to prevent leaks. Let rolls cool for a few minutes before serving to allow cheese to set. For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of Parmesan or chopped parsley after baking. Rolls can be made vegetarian by omitting pepperoni or using a meatless variety.
