Homemade pizza sticks

homemade pizza sticks for dinner. I should’ve taken them out of the oven a little sooner, but they were still tasty 😋 🍕
I rolled out 2 rolls of crescent roll dough and pressed the seams together, used a pizza cutter to cut each one into 4 pieces. Then I put some pepperoni and a string cheese stick on each rectangle and rolled them up. I melted some butter with garlic and Italian seasoning and brushed that on top with some parmesan cheese. Baked at 450 for 12 mins, but will definitely do closer to 10 mins next time.
Served them with some pizza sauce and a Ceasar salad!

Ingredients:

  • 2 rolls of crescent roll dough
  • 1 pack of pepperoni slices
  • 8 string cheese sticks, halved
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Pizza sauce, for dipping
  • Caesar salad, for serving

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Prepare the Dough:
    • Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the seams together to create a solid sheet.
    • Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 8 equal rectangles.
  3. Assemble the Rolls:
    • Place a few slices of pepperoni on each rectangle.
    • Put a halved string cheese stick on top of the pepperoni.
    • Roll up the dough tightly, ensuring the cheese and pepperoni are enclosed.
  4. Prepare the Garlic Butter:
    • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
    • Add minced garlic and Italian seasoning to the melted butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat.
  5. Brush and Bake:
    • Place the prepared rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Brush the garlic butter mixture over the top of each roll.
    • Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese generously over the rolls.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melty and gooey.
  6. Serve:
    • Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
    • Serve the cheesy pepperoni crescent roll bites warm with pizza sauce for dipping and a side of Caesar salad.
