Ingredients

1 8 ounce can refrigerated crescent roll dough
30 slices pepperoni slices
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the crescent roll dough out on the prepared baking sheet. Pinch together the seams of the triangles to make one flat dough.
Spread the pizza sauce over the dough. Sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon of Italian seasoning over the sauce.
Place the pepperoni slices on top of the sauce. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the pepperoni.
Carefully roll up the dough as tight as possible. Wrap in the parchment paper and place in the freezer for about an hour.
Slice the into slices. Place the pinwheels on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Stir garlic powder and remaining Italian seasoning in the melted butter. Brush the butter on top of each pinwheel.
Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until they start turn golden brown.
Serve the pinwheels with a side of marinara for dipping.

Notes

Use freshly shredded cheese. I recommend shredding your own cheese for the best taste. You can use pre-shredded cheese if that's what you have on hand.

Roll tightly. Roll the dough as tightly as possible. You can use the parchment paper to help roll it over.

Chill before slicing. Since the dough is so soft, I recommend freezing the rolled pinwheel before slicing. This helps them stay together.
