Ingredients:

  • 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup (100 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup (100 g) cupped pepperoni, chopped
  • ½ cup (120 g) ricotta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) marinara sauce (for dipping)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough. If using pizza dough, roll it out to about ¼-inch thickness.
  3. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 3-inch squares.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine mozzarella, chopped cupped pepperoni, ricotta, and Italian seasoning. Mix until combined.
  5. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough square. Fold the corners over to create a pocket and pinch to seal.
  6. Arrange bites on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with olive oil.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve with marinara sauce for dipping. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
