Pizza Croissants

I got this idea from my sister-in-law after I asked for a different recipe. They are quite delicious.

Here we have a Crescent Roll with a few slices of pepperoni and half of a mozzarella stick. Hubs thought they needed less cheese like half as much. I liked the full amount of cheese, but we both thought they needed more pepperoni.  So I would do at least 4 slices next time. I only did 3 in these ones.

Roll up your Crescent Roll. I tucked up the corners so all the cheese wouldn't melt on to the pan.

Before starting on the rolls I started simmering my own marinara. I used this recipe from Annie's Eats as a guide. 

1 14oz can diced tomatoes 

1 heaping teaspoon of minced garlic

1-2 tablespoons of olive oil

1 tablespoon dried basil

1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning

A dash of crushed red pepper flakes
Dash of salt

Simmer for 15-20 minutes. I mashed up my tomatoes a little with the potato masher to make it more saucy.

After you have the marinara going you can get started on the rolls. Then bake them according to the package.   I used reduced fat croissant and reduced fat pepperoni.  Still so good.  

                                     

Take a bite they're delicious!
