Lay 3 pepperoni slices at the base of each “triangle” of crescent roll dough. Add about a Tablespoon of mozzarella cheese on top. Then roll up the crescent roll.

What Is The Difference Between Pizza Dough And Crescent Dough?

Crescent roll dough is a slighter richer yeast dough, made with milk and eggs. This allows it to rise like pizza dough, but with a more buttery texture and flavor. This makes for a delicious pizza roll. And you can bake them in the oven or air fryer.
