Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef (or sausage), onion, bell pepper, and garlic until the meat is browned and the vegetables are softened. Drain off any excess grease. (8 minutes)

03

Step

Stir in the quartered pepperoni and sliced black olives. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. (10 minutes)

04

Step

In the slightly cooled meat mixture, stir in 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese and 3/4 cup of the pizza sauce. Reserve the remaining mozzarella and pizza sauce. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Unroll both packages of crescent roll dough. Separate each dough sheet into 4 rectangles (for a total of 8 rectangles). Arrange the rectangles on the prepared baking sheet in a ring, with the short sides forming a 5-inch circle in the center. Slightly overlap the dough pieces to create a starburst pattern. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Carefully spoon the meat and cheese mixture onto the halves of the crescent roll rectangles closest to the center of the ring. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Working around the circle, bring the unfilled sides of the dough up and over the meat mixture, tucking the ends underneath the ring to secure. Ensure a tight seal to prevent filling from escaping. (8 minutes)

08

Step

Using a paring knife, make small slits along the top of the ring, cutting through the dough along any attached perforations. This will allow steam to escape and create a more visually appealing presentation. (3 minutes)

09

Step

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. (2 minutes)

10

Step

Brush the butter mixture evenly over the top of the crescent ring. Sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese. (2 minutes)

11

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the dough is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, approximately 15 to 17 minutes. (17 minutes)

12

Step

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Warm the remaining pizza sauce for dipping. Serve immediately and watch it disappear!

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat mixture.
Don't overfill the crescent rolls, or the filling may leak out during baking.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the meat with sautéed mushrooms and spinach.
Feel free to customize the fillings to your liking! Add your favorite pizza toppings such as mushrooms, green peppers, or different types of cheese.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve a perfectly golden-brown crust.
