This Crescent Roll Pizza recipe comes together in about 15 minutes and features minimal cleanup for a quick and easy lunch or weeknight meal that your family will love!
Ingredient Breakdown
Let’s take a closer look at what you’ll need to create these scrumptious Crescent Roll Pizza.
- Refrigerated Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls: One package (8 oz, includes 8 rolls). This is the base layer of flaky goodness that holds everything together.
- Pepperoni Slices: You’ll need about 24 slices (which is around 5 oz). Classic and oh-so-tasty! But feel free to swap for ham, turkey, or even veggies like diced bell peppers for a fun twist.
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: A delightful 2 oz or about ½ cup! It melts beautifully, giving that ooey-gooey cheese pull we all crave on pizza.
- Marinara or Pizza Sauce: One cup, heated. This is for dipping, and let me tell you, it just makes the rolls!
How to Make Crescent Roll Pizza
Are you ready to get cooking? This is where all the fun happens!
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
First things first, heat your oven to 375 degrees F. This is key to achieving those golden-brown crescents!
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
Next, let’s separate the dough into 8 triangles. Gently pat them out a bit with your hands. We want a bit more room for toppings!
Step 3: Add the Pepperoni
On each triangle, place about 3 slices of pepperoni, slightly overlapping them. This creates a perfect flavor base for your cheesy delight.
Step 4: Cheese, Please!
Top each triangle with about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese. Can we say cheesy goodness? (Yes, we can!)
Step 5: Roll Them Up
Now, roll them up! Start at the shortest side of the triangle and roll toward the opposite point. Place those lovely rolls, point side down, on an ungreased baking sheet.
Step 6: Bake Away
Pop them in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown. Your kitchen will smell amazing, trust me!
Step 7: Serve & Enjoy
Once they’re done, remove the crescent rolls from the baking sheet and serve them warm. Grab that heated marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy!
