1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper, or lightly grease it so the rolls release easily.

2. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Place 4 slices of pepperoni on the wide end of each triangle, then set 1 mozzarella piece on top.

3. Roll each triangle up from the wide end toward the pointed tip, tucking the sides in slightly as you go to help keep the cheese from leaking out.

4. Arrange the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them so the hot air can circulate and brown the pastry evenly.
5. Bake for 11 to 14 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed and deeply golden brown and the cheese inside is melted. Let the rolls cool for 3 to 5 minutes before serving so the filling can settle slightly.
