You will make ultimate easy pepperoni and mozzarella pizza pinwheels using refrigerated crescent roll dough. These snacks are perfect for parties, game days, or a quick, cheesy family treat. Jacob perfected this simple recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices (or chopped regular pepperoni)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface. Press the seams together gently to form one large rectangle.
  3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the entire surface of the dough, leaving a small border on one long edge.
  4. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
  5. Distribute the pepperoni slices over the cheese layer.
  6. Starting from the long edge opposite the bare border, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the final seam closed.
  7. Using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss, slice the log into 12 to 14 equal rounds (about 3/4 inch thick).
  8. Place the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
  9. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder, if using. Brush this mixture lightly over the tops of the pinwheels.
  10. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  11. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • If you want extra flavor, brush the tops with melted garlic butter after baking instead of before.
  • You can substitute pepperoni with cooked, crumbled sausage or finely chopped bell peppers for a different filling.
  • For a crispier bottom, place the pinwheels directly on a pizza stone instead of a parchment-lined sheet.
