Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup pepperoni chopped into 1/2" pieces
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons parsley fresh chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Unroll the crescent rolls onto a lightly floured surface and gently press the perforations together to create one large sheet of dough.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the entire sheet of dough, then sprinkle with pepperoni and shredded cheese.
- Starting at the long edge, roll the dough up into a long tube, then slice into 3/4" slices (you should get between 6-8). Place the pinwheels cut-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in your preheated oven for about 13-17 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
Storing leftovers: store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Make-ahead tips: you can make, shape, and cut your pinwheels, then freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, toss them into a freezer bag and store for up to 1 month. To bake, let them thaw in the fridge overnight and bake as directed.
