Ingredients
24 pepperoni slices (from a 6-ounces package)
1 package (12 counts) string cheese (low moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese)
1 c. marinara sauce
1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Dough Sheet
How to make Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Sticks
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F.
Step 2: After unwrapping the string cheese, slice a 2-inch slit along one side of each cheese string, leaving the ends intact. In half, cut the slices of pepperoni. Into each cut side of the mozzarella sticks, insert 4 halves of the pepperoni.
Step 3: Unroll the dough on a large cutting board. Into 12 equal strips, cut the short side of the dough. Wind one strip of the crescent dough around the cheese beginning at one end of the mozzarella stick, covering the cheese completely. Then, seal the ends. Place the sticks on an ungreased cooking sheet. Do the same for the rest of the dough and mozzarella sticks.
Step 4: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 5: In the meantime, heat the marinara sauce for 1 to 2 minutes on medium-high (70%), covered, until warmed through.
Step 6: Remove from the oven when done and serve the Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Sticks right away with marinara sauce. Enjoy!
Tips:
Use a pizza cutter to easily cut the strips of dough.
You can use pizza sauce in place of marinara sauce.
