Ingredients
  

1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1/2 cup pizza sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil.

    Prepare the Crescent Dough: Open the package of crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into triangles following the perforations.

      Assemble the Pizzas:

        - Take one triangle of dough and lay it flat.

          - Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce on the wider end of the triangle, leaving a small border around the edge.

            - Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.

              - Add a few mini pepperoni slices over the cheese, and if desired, sprinkle some dried oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes for an extra kick.

                Fold and Seal: Carefully roll the dough from the wider end towards the pointed tip, creating a crescent shape. Pinch the edges to seal in the filling to prevent any leakage during baking.

                  Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each rolled pizza on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them for even baking. Repeat with the remaining triangles until all the dough is used up.

                    Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and puffed up.

                      Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the mini pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, alongside extra pizza sauce for dipping if desired. Enjoy your quick and delightful snack!
