Equipment

  • Saucepot
  • Baking sheet
  • Pastry brush

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Garlic Herb Butter

  • 1 can crescent roll dough (seamless sheet, not precut)
  • 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese separated
  • 6 ounces sliced pepperoni

Instructions

  • Melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepot, then add the oregano, garlic powder and salt. Mix together and set aside to cool.
    ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Lay out a large rectangle of plastic wrap on the counter or a large cutting board, then unroll the dough onto the middle of the plastic.
    1 can crescent roll dough
  • Reserve about a ¼ cup of the cheese and set aside for topping the rolls later. Sprinkle the rest evenly over the top of the dough, leaving a ½ inch strip along one side, which will be used to seal everything up.
    8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Layer the pepperoni evenly over the top of the cheese.
    6 ounces sliced pepperoni
  • Begin rolling the dough up along the long edge into a log, using the plastic wrap to help guide it along the way. Moisten the edge of the dough that was left bare with a little water, then finish rolling into an even log, pinching along the seam to seal completely.
  • Wrap tightly in the plastic wrap and put in the freezer until it has firmed up enough to slice cleanly, about 20 minutes.
  • While the dough is chilling in the freezer, preheat the oven to 375 F.
  • Once the dough has firmed up, cut into 8 equal slices and arrange on a parchment lined sheet pan, leaving plenty of space in between for them to expand.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush top of the rolls with the garlic herb butter, then sprinkle the top with the reserved cheese.
  • Bake for 12 - 15 minutes until they are done throughout and a golden brown color.
  • While still warm, brush the tops again with more herb butter.
