Pizza Crescent Roll Ups

Pizza Crescent Roll Ups

I found this idea on pinterest.  After looking at the recipe, I added a couple of ingredients to make it more “pizzeria” style.  These make a great after school snack.  As well a great Bento Lunch box idea!

INGREDIENTS:

1-2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 can crescent rolls
Pepperoni Slices (you will need approx. 40)
4 cheese sticks (cut in half)
Sprinkling of Garlic Powder
1/8 cup butter, Melted
Pizza Sauce or Spaghetti Sauce.

DIRECTIONS:

1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray cookie sheet, pizza pan…with cooking spray and then sprinkle with a tablespoon or 2 of cornmeal.  Coating the pan evenly with the cornmeal.  (This was a bonus…it made it taste like something out of a pizzeria to me.

2. Unroll the crescent rolls.  I found it easier to just work one and a time.  Separate each crescent roll.

3.  Place 4-6 slices of pepperoni at the widest end of each crescent roll.

4.  Place half a slice of a cheese stick in the center and roll up.  I try to close the ends of the roll ups as best as I can.  You will have a small amount of “Cheesy Bubbling” coming through when fully baked.

5.  Sprinkle each crescent roll with Garlic Powder.

6.  Bake in a 375 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes.  Be sure to keep an eye on them.  Oven temps do very!

7.  Once out of the oven brush each one with a little melted butter.  Serve with warmed pizza sauce.

~Enjoy!~
