Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packages Pillsbury crescent rolls
  • 8 mozzarella cheese sticks, each cut into halves (16 pieces total)
  • 1 package of pepperoni
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 1 egg
  • Marinara sauce (optional, for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Oven and Seasoning Mix Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, oregano, and basil. This blend will be used to season the crescent twists, adding a flavorful touch to the simple ingredients.
  2. Preparing the Egg Wash In another small bowl, beat the egg until smooth. This egg wash will help in giving your crescent rolls a beautiful golden finish when baked.
  3. Assembling the Twists Take the crescent rolls and unroll them. At the wide end of each crescent, place half a mozzarella stick and top with several slices of pepperoni. From the wide end where your toppings are placed, carefully roll towards the narrow end, ensuring the cheese and pepperoni are snugly wrapped within.
  4. Seasoning and Baking Place the assembled twists on an ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle the earlier prepared herb seasoning evenly over the twists and then gently brush the tops with the beaten egg. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
