Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup pizza sauce

1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup mini pepperoni slices

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Olive oil spray or melted butter for brushing

Fresh basil leaves for garnishing (optional)

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven heats, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup.

    Open the can of crescent roll dough. Carefully unroll the dough and divide it into 8 individual triangles along the perforated lines.

      For each triangle, spread approximately 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over the surface. Sprinkle a small pinch of Italian seasoning and a dash of garlic powder atop the sauce for added flavor.

        Generously sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce layer on each triangle. This will create a cheesy goodness that melts beautifully during baking.

          Take 4-5 mini pepperoni slices and place them neatly on top of the cheese so that every bite gets a taste of pepperoni.

            Starting at the wider end of each triangle, roll the dough towards the pointed tip, forming a crescent shape. Ensure that the pointed end is tucked underneath each roll when placing it on the prepared baking sheet.

              For a delectable golden finish, lightly brush the tops of the crescent bites with olive oil or melted butter using a pastry brush.

                Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them until they reach a delightful golden brown and the cheese is beautifully melted.

                  Once baked, remove the crescent bites from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Serve them warm, and if desired, add a touch of elegance with a few fresh basil leaves as a garnish.
