Ingredients
- 1 (8 count) can crescent roll dough
- ¼ cup pizza sauce
- ¼ cup pepperoni (or other toppings)
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

- Slowly start rolling the dough from the long side. Once fully rolled you want to pinch the dough well to make sure it is sealed.
