Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Open the crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a flat surface. Separate the dough into individual triangles as per the instructions on the package.
Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese at the wide end of each triangle, followed by a few slices of pepperoni.
Sprinkle some Italian seasoning on top if you like extra flavor.
Carefully roll up each crescent dough triangle, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the tip.
Arrange the rolls on the baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. If desired, serve with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Cheese Variety: Swap mozzarella with other cheeses such as cheddar, provolone, or a blend of Italian cheeses for a different flavor.
Toppings: Add extra toppings like bell peppers, onions, or olives for a more personalized flavor.
Vegetarian Version: Skip the pepperoni and add your favorite veggies such as mushrooms or spinach.
Sauce: For a different twist, use pesto or Alfredo sauce instead of marinara for dipping.
Storage: Store leftover croissant rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes or until heated through, or microwave them for 20-30 seconds.
Freezing: You can freeze the prepared rolls before baking. Bake them directly from frozen, adding extra baking time.
Garlic Butter: Brushing the dough with garlic butter before baking adds extra flavor.
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free crescent roll dough if necessary.
Mini Croissants: Mini croissants can be used, reducing the baking time slightly.
