Make easy, bite-sized pepperoni pizza snacks using pre-made dough for a quick appetizer or party food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the pizza sauce with the garlic powder.
  4. Place about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle.
  5. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each triangle.
  6. Top the cheese with 3 to 4 mini pepperoni slices.
  7. Roll each triangle up tightly, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the tip. Pinch the seams to seal the edges.
  8. Place the rolled bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush the tops of the bites with melted butter.
  10. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can use refrigerated pizza dough instead of crescent rolls; cut it into 2-inch squares before filling.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano over the cheese before rolling.
  • These bites freeze well; cool completely, place in a freezer bag, and reheat in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.
