Ingredients

1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

1/4 cup pizza sauce

3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup sliced pepperoni (24 slices)

1 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese

Steps

1. Heat oven to 375°F. Unroll dough onto cookie sheet; separate into 4 rectangles (2 triangles each). Press each rectangle to form a 6x4-inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal. 

  

2. Spread 1 tablespoon pizza sauce on half of each rectangle to within 1 inch of edge. Sprinkle each with 3 tablespoons cheese; top with 6 slices pepperoni. Fold dough diagonally over filling; firmly press edges with fork to seal. Sprinkle each triangle with 1/4 teaspoon grated cheese. With fork, prick top of each to allow steam to escape. 

3. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until deep golden brown. Serve warm. 

My Results: 

1. These were a little messy to make.  Don't put too much sauce inside, that will make it harder to join the sides of the dough together.

2. I used ready made pizza sauce, sliced mozzarella and pepperoni.

Not the prettiest!

I cut these to make them easier to hold.
