Pizza Bites

When Matt and I were in high school, every Friday was pizza day. Once a month, they would serve these pizza dippers; cheese and pepperoni encased in bread with a side of marinara.

This morning, we were contemplating what would be a quick meal that wasn't frozen and wasn't macaroni and cheese. I remembered seeing a post on Pinterest about making pizza bites out of crescent rolls, string cheese, and pepperoni--all things already in our fridge. We were out if marina sauce, so I decided to substitute with Ragu (the roasted garlic kind) spaghetti sauce.


Makeshift Pizza Bite Dippers

Crescent Rolls
String cheese halves
Pepperoni
Spaghetti Sauce

Lay out the crescent (croissant) roll dough and slather in spaghetti sauce from the wider end to about an inch away from the narrow end (so the dough will still stick together). Place several pieces of pepperoni on top of the sauce. I would recommend layering the pepperoni, as a layer one piece thick tends to disappear in the taste of the crescent and sauce. Place half a piece of string cheese on top and roll it all up. Place in the oven at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or so. Serve with a side of the same sauce for dipping.

It all took about twenty minutes total, and comes with husband approval!
