- 1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce or pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pepperoni
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the seams together to form a rectangle.
- Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Scatter the chopped pepperoni over the cheese.
- Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll up the dough.
- Cut the roll into 8 equal pinwheels.
- Place the pinwheels cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the cheese.
- If you don’t have pepperoni, you can use other small diced pizza toppings like cooked sausage or ham.
- These pinwheels are best served warm.
