Helpful Tips and Suggestions

  • Keep the crescent roll dough in the fridge until ready to use. (It warms up quickly when out of the fridge and starts sticking to itself and whatever it rests on.)
  • Substitute with your favorite pizza toppings. (Ground beef,
  • While it’s tempting to add extra ingredients, avoid overstuffing. This can lead to difficulties in rolling and may result in a messy appearance.
  • Stir in a spoonful of basil pesto into the melted butter.
  • For a kick of heat, add some red pepper flakes to your dipping sauce.
  • Pair with a side salad, pasta salad, or fruit salad to make a pizza night meal for the whole family.

Storage

Refrigeration: Place the pizza crescent rolls in an airtight container or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator. This is recommended if you don’t plan to eat them within the same day.

Freezing: Place the rolls on a baking sheet in a single layer until frozen, then transfer them to a freezer bag. Ensure they are well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn.

Reheating Pizza Crescent Rolls

Oven or Toaster Oven: Preheat your oven or toaster oven to around 350°F (175°C). Place the pizza crescent rolls on a baking sheet. Heat for about 5-10 minutes or until they are warmed through with melty cheese and the crust is crispy.
Microwave: For a quick reheating, you can use a microwave. Place a damp paper towel over the crescent rolls to prevent them from drying out. Heat in short increments (15-30 seconds) until warmed to your liking.
Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the pizza crescent rolls in the air fryer basket.
Cook for 3-5 minutes or until heated through and crispy.
From Frozen: If reheating from frozen, you may need to add a few extra minutes to the reheating time. Follow the same methods mentioned above, adjusting the time accordingly.
