Ingredients
Scale
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/2 cup diced turkey turkey pepperoni
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup pizza sauce
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 large egg
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface, pressing the seams together to form one large rectangle.
Step 2: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese, diced turkey beef pepperoni, and Italian seasoning over the sauce.
Step 3: Carefully roll the dough up tightly from one long side to the other, creating a log. Gently pinch the seam closed to secure it.
Step 4: Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Place the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each roll.
Step 5: In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the pizza rolls with the egg wash and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Step 6: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Keep leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer enjoyment.
For best results, reheat leftover rolls in a toaster oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until warmed through and crispy.
Serve these warm with a side of extra pizza sauce for dipping, or a small bowl of ranch dressing, which kids especially love!
To ensure your rolls hold their shape perfectly and are easy to slice, place the tightly rolled log in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before cutting into pinwheels.
