Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1/2 cup pizza sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

3/4 cup sliced pepperoni

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

1 egg (for egg wash)

Grated Parmesan cheese (for sprinkling, optional)

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean, flat surface. Pinch the seams together to form one continuous sheet, ensuring there are no gaps. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice this sheet into 12 equal squares.

      Add Sauce and Cheese: Take each square and place approximately 1/2 teaspoon of pizza sauce in the middle. On top of the sauce, generously add about a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by a few slices of pepperoni. For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle a tiny pinch of Italian seasoning over the top.

        Fold the Bites: Carefully fold the corners of each dough square towards the center, pinching the edges firmly to create sealed pockets, ensuring no filling escapes during baking.

          Apply Egg Wash: In a small mixing bowl, beat the egg until well combined. Use a pastry brush to apply the egg wash evenly over the tops of each crescent bite. This will give them a lovely golden color while baking.

            Bake: Arrange the filled bites on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the bites are puffed up and golden brown.

              Garnish: Once baked, remove the bites from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. If desired, sprinkle lightly with grated Parmesan cheese and add fresh basil leaves on top for a vibrant touch.

                Serve: Enjoy the bites warm, accompanied by extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping to complement the flavors.
