Ingredients for Pepperoni and Cheese Crescent Roll-Ups

How to Make Pepperoni and Cheese Crescent Roll-Ups

1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to the temperature specified on the crescent roll dough package. This ensures that your roll-ups bake to perfection.
2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. This makes it easier to assemble the roll-ups later on.
3. Add Pepperoni Slices: Place a generous amount of pepperoni slices on each triangle of dough, ensuring even distribution of the savory flavor.
4. Insert Cheese Sticks: Take half of a string cheese stick and position it at the wide end of each crescent triangle. This step adds a gooey, cheesy element to every bite.
5. Roll Up the Crescents: Carefully roll up each crescent, starting from the wide end and tucking in the sides as you go. This creates a neat and compact roll-up that holds all the delicious fillings inside.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the assembled crescent roll-ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each. This allows for even baking and ensures golden brown perfection.
7. Season to Taste: Sprinkle each roll-up with garlic powder, adjusting the amount to suit your taste preferences. This step adds a hint of savory flavor that complements the pepperoni and cheese.
8. Bake to Perfection: Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and cooked through. This step fills your kitchen with irresistible aromas that will have everyone eagerly anticipating the final result.
9. Heat Pizza Sauce: While the roll-ups are baking, heat the pizza sauce in a small saucepan or microwave for dipping. This adds a burst of tangy flavor that perfectly complements the cheesy goodness of the roll-ups.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Once the roll-ups are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, serve them warm with the pizza sauce on the side for dipping. Watch as they disappear within moments, leaving everyone craving more of this delectable treat.
