Ingredients

  • 1 tube crescent roll dough unrolled
  • 4 mozzarella sticks
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt divided
  • 1 cup marinara

Instructions

  • Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Unroll the crescent dough sheet onto a floured cutting board. Cut into 6 sections using a pizza cutter for simplicity.
  • Divide mozzarella sticks (lengthwise) into thin sections and place in the center of each dough strip. Repeat until dough strips have ¼” of space at the top and bottom. Peel apart mozzarella sticks are perfect for this recipe if you can find them
  • Sprinkle ½ teaspoon each of italian seasoning and garlic salt over the dough sheets and cheese.
  • Wrap the dough strips around the cheese.
  • Take one strip and start in the center of a pizza pan. Wrap the strip like a coil and continue until all pieces have been used.
  • Sprinkle remaining italian seasoning and garlic salt over the dough. Brush marinara sauce generously over the pizza.
  • Top with grated mozzarella and basil.
  • Place into the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Cut into triangles and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Pull apart mozzarella string cheese is the easiest way to stuff the crescent dough perfectly every time.
  • Wrap the crescent dough strips snuggly against one another to make a solid pizza.
  • A pizza cutter is the easiest way to cut the dough into strips.
  • If you don't own a pizza pan simply use a rack lightly coated in cooking spray on top of a rimmed baking sheet.
  • A crowd loves a good side dish. Find many at What to Serve With Falafel.
