Ingredients:
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or 4 mozzarella sticks, halved
½ cup pepperoni slices
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning, optional
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese, optional
Marinara sauce, for dipping (optional)

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles. On the wide end of each triangle, place 3–4 slices of pepperoni and a piece of mozzarella. Roll the dough tightly from the wide end to the tip, enclosing the filling. Sprinkle Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan over the top, if using. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
