Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz tube crescent dough
  • 6 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 30 slices pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce For dipping
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter For brushing
  • 1 pinch garlic powder For the glaze
  • 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese For topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Open the tube of crescent dough and press the seams together to form one large sheet of dough.
  3. Lay the mozzarella slices evenly across the dough surface.
  4. Add the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese, distributing them evenly.
  5. Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log shape.
  6. Once the dough is rolled, slice the log into thick rounds to create spiral-shaped rolls.
  7. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to expand while baking.
  8. Bake the rolls in the oven until golden brown and the cheese inside melts, about 12 minutes.
  9. While the rolls bake, melt the butter in a small bowl and stir in the garlic powder.
  10. Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush them with the garlic butter.
  11. Finish by sprinkling grated parmesan cheese over the warm rolls.
  12. Serve the pizza bites with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Chilling the rolled dough log for a few minutes before slicing helps maintain the spirals' shape. Use freshly grated parmesan for better flavor. For crispier rolls, bake slightly longer.
