Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup pizza sauce (choose store-bought or homemade)

1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup mini pepperoni slices

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured countertop, carefully unroll the crescent roll dough. Gently separate the dough into individual triangles at the perforations.

      Assemble the Pizza Bites: At the wider end of each triangle, spread about a teaspoon of pizza sauce. Then, sprinkle approximately 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by a few mini pepperoni slices. For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of Italian seasoning.

        Roll and Shape: Starting at the wide end, tightly roll the dough towards the pointed end to form a bite-sized pizza roll. Place each rolled crescent onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.

          Add Toppings: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and garlic powder. Using a brush, lightly coat the tops of each roll with the olive oil mixture. For added richness, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed up.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the pizza bites from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and added flavor.

                Enjoy: Serve your Mini Pepperoni Pizza Crescent Bites warm with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping!
