Ingredients
- 1 can of refrigerated croissant dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional: Marinara sauce for dipping
Feel free to substitute the pepperoni with your favorite cured meat or opt for a veggie version with mushrooms or spinach. The flexibility of this recipe allows you to tailor it to your taste, just like how my mum used to adjust her crumbles based on the season’s best fruits.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the croissant dough and separate it into individual triangles.
- Sprinkle each triangle with mozzarella cheese, ensuring a generous but even layer.
- Place a few slices of pepperoni over the cheese.
- Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle towards the point, gently tucking in the sides to prevent the filling from escaping.
- Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
- Brush the tops with melted butter, then sprinkle with Italian herbs and garlic powder for an extra layer of flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Let them cool slightly before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
As you watch these rolls turn a lovely golden hue, you’ll be reminded of the simple joys of baking — the anticipation, the aroma, and the satisfaction of a job well done, just as my mum taught me.
