Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
On the wide end of each crescent triangle, place one half of a mozzarella stick.
Layer 4 slices of pepperoni on top of the mozzarella stick, extending down the triangle.
Starting from the wide end with the cheese, roll up each crescent tightly towards the point.
Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, beat the egg to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of each crescent roll with the egg wash.
Sprinkle the tops with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
Cool to room temperature, store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, and reheat in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes. Freeze baked rolls up to 2 months.
Yes. Assemble the rolls, place on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate up to 8 hours before baking. Bake from chilled (add 2–3 minutes to baking time).
Seal the crescent dough completely around each filling, pressing edges firmly. Don't overstuff—use half a mozzarella stick and 4 pepperoni slices per roll. Bake at the stated temperature to set the dough before cheese escapes.
Fresh mozzarella has high moisture and will leak. Mozzarella sticks are formulated to hold shape when baked. Stick with them or use low-moisture mozzarella chunks as a second choice.
Bake until the crescent rolls are golden brown on top, typically 12–15 minutes at 375°F. The dough should be firm and lightly browned, not pale or dark.
Yes. Cool completely, store in an airtight container for up to 2 months, and reheat at 350°F for 5–7 minutes until warm.
