Ingredients
-
1 package croissant dough
-
6 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
-
3 oz pepperoni slices
-
2 tablespoons butter, melted
-
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
-
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
-
¼ teaspoon dried basil
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
Unroll the croissant dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforations.
-
Cut the pepperoni slices in half so they fit easily inside the dough.
-
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder, oregano, and basil.
-
Brush the seasoned butter over each croissant dough triangle.
-
Place a few pieces of pepperoni at the wide end of each triangle.
-
Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella over the pepperoni.
-
Roll each triangle from the wide end toward the tip, keeping the filling inside.
-
Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
-
Brush the tops with any remaining butter mixture.
-
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
-
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
-
Don’t overfill: Too much cheese can leak out during baking.
-
Extra crispy: Bake on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet.
-
Golden finish: Brushing butter on top adds flavor and color.
-
Serve warm: These taste best fresh from the oven.
