Pizza Crescent Rolls

These pizza crescent rolls swap ham and swiss for pepperoni, mozzarella string cheese, and pizza sauce. String cheese works best here because it melts without running out of the crescent. The recipe and air frying instructions are below.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count)
- 8 slices pepperoni
- 4 mozzarella string cheese sticks, halved
- 2 tablespoons pizza sauce or marinara
- 1 egg, beaten
- Italian seasoning for sprinkling
- Extra marinara for dipping
Steps
- 01Unroll dough, separate into 8 triangles.
- 02Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on each triangle.
- 03Place 1 piece of string cheese and 1 slice of pepperoni on the wide end.
- 04Roll up, tucking in the sides.
- 05Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- 06Ready for the air fryer.
- 07Serve with warm marinara for dipping.
String cheese is the right mozzarella for this because it melts without running out of the crescent. Shredded mozzarella liquefies and leaks everywhere. The string cheese softens and gets stretchy but stays mostly contained.

How to Air Fry It
- 01Preheat the air fryer to 325°F (165°C).
- 02Place the prepared stuffed crescent rolls into the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each roll.
- 03Lightly brush the tops with butter or oil and season with the Everything Bagel or Garlic Parmesan seasoning.
- 04Air fry at 325°F (165°C) for 8 minutes until the rolls are golden brown and flaky.
- 05Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving so the hot filling does not burn your mouth.
