Make these simple pepperoni pizza pinwheels using refrigerated crescent roll dough for a quick appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 ounces) 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 F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Do not separate the triangles. Press the seams together to form one large rectangle.
  3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border along one long edge.
  4. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices over the sauce.
  5. Starting from the long edge opposite the border you left, tightly roll the dough into a log.
  6. Brush the top of the log lightly with the melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.
  7. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 equal rounds (about 3/4 inch thick).
  8. Place the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  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 crescent rolls if you prefer a different texture.
  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of dried oregano or Parmesan cheese before baking.
  • These pinwheels reheat well in an oven or air fryer for a few minutes.
