Hey Hey!!! My name is Tiffany and I blog over at Creme de la Crumb. I’m here to share one awesome recipe with you. If you’re a pepperoni pizza fan, you’re gonna love these pinwheels! So easy to make and 100% delicious to eat.
I’m a sucker for pizza and anything dippable so turning pepperoni pizza into a dipping appetizer is my dream come true! These cutie pinwheels start out with refrigerated crescent dough so you don’t even have to break out your stand mixer for this recipe – win. All you need is the dough and just three other simple ingredients to whip these babies up. Do it pronto – you won’t regret it!!
What is Pepperoni?
Pepperoni is an American version of salami.
It is made from beef and pork sausage seasoned with pepper.
Does Pepperoni Need to be Refrigerated?
Pepperoni can be stored up to 6 weeks in the pantry.
If stored in the refrigerator, pepperoni will last indefinitely.
What Sauce do you Use for Pizza?
Pizza sauce is usually canned tomato, with a touch of basil oregano salt and sometimes garlic. These are the same ingredients used to make spaghetti sauce, so spaghetti sauce could be used for pizza.

Just letting you know that Pillsbury now makes a crescent roll that is just one sheet, no more pinching seems together. It works quite well and tastes just like the crescent rolls. Only difference is instead of rolls it’s sheet of crescent dough, that you unroll.
Hooray for that!!!
Love the look of these, I bet you could do them in all sorts of pizza-style flavours!
