What You’ll Need
- Refrigerated crescent roll dough. Divide one tube into 24 pieces. If your tube has eight triangles, cut each triangle into three portions.
- Pepperoni. Use one slice per bite. Fold it around the cheese if it’s wider than the piece of dough.
- Mozzarella. Cut the cheese into 24 small cubes so the dough can close around each one.
How to Keep the Cheese Inside
Gently flatten each piece of dough before adding the filling. Bring the edges together over the pepperoni and mozzarella, then pinch firmly to close any gaps. Bake the bites seam-side down to help keep them closed as the dough puffs.
How to Serve Pepperoni Bradshaw Bites
Let the bites cool for 2 to 3 minutes before moving them to a platter. Serve warm on their own or with a small bowl of marinara for dipping.
