Make these simple pizza pinwheels using refrigerated crescent roll dough for a fast, crowd-pleasing appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) can 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. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Press the seams together to form one large rectangle.
  3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border on one long edge.
  4. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the pepperoni slices.
  5. Starting from the long edge opposite the border, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam closed.
  6. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 equal rounds, about 3/4 inch thick.
  7. Place the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush this mixture lightly over the tops of the pinwheels.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute puff pastry or pizza dough for the crescent rolls, adjusting baking time as needed.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano over the cheese before rolling.
  • These can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 4 hours before baking.
