Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated croissant dough
- 8 mozzarella cheese sticks (or cut a block of mozzarella into 8 pieces)
- 16 slices beef or turkey pepperoni (2 per roll)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese (for topping)
- ½ cup marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Croissant Dough
Unroll the refrigerated croissant dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the pre-cut lines. Lay them flat on your work surface.
Step 3: Add the Fillings
On each triangle of dough, place two slices of beef or turkey pepperoni near the wide end. Then, place a mozzarella stick on top of the pepperoni.
Step 4: Roll Them Up
Carefully roll up the croissants from the wide end toward the tip, ensuring that the cheese and pepperoni are snugly wrapped inside. Tuck the ends under slightly to prevent cheese from oozing out while baking.
Step 5: Brush with Butter and Seasoning
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes. Use a pastry brush to coat each croissant roll with this buttery mixture, then sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Step 6: Bake Until Golden Brown
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7: Serve with Marinara Sauce
Remove the croissant rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
