Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Roll Dough
- 2 cans Crescent Rolls (18 rolls total)
Filling
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 24 pepperoni slices
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Separate the crescent rolls from both cans into rectangles made by joining two triangle rolls. Use a rolling pin to roll them out flat, ensuring there are no gaps in the dough.
- Add the Sauce: Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce in a small triangle shape in the center of each dough rectangle.
- Cheese Layer: Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza sauce on each rectangle.
- Add Pepperoni: Arrange 3 pepperoni slices very close to each other on top of the cheese, overlapping slightly for a fuller look.
- First Fold: Fold the top right corner of the dough diagonally down toward the bottom left corner, covering the pepperoni slices.
- Second Fold: Fold the top left corner across the right edge of the triangle to wrap around and secure the filling inside.
- Shape the Hat Brim: Flip the bottom edge of the roll upward about 1 inch to create the brim of the witch hat. Tuck a pepperoni slice into the brim, then curve the top of the triangle down and bring the two bottom corners up to mimic the look of a witch’s hat edges.
- Bake: Place the shaped crescent rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15 minutes until the rolls are golden brown.
- Serve: Let cool slightly and serve warm with additional pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute pepperoni with any small sliced sausage or omit for a vegetarian version.
- Use shredded mozzarella for easier melting and even coverage.
- Ensure the dough is rolled out thoroughly to avoid gaps to prevent the filling from leaking.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
- If pizza sauce is too runny, use less to prevent dough sogginess.
