- Sprinkle each triangle with Italian seasoning.
- Place three slices of pepperoni and one half-piece of mozzarella cheese near the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll each crescent from the wide end towards the tip, pinching side edges to seal the filling inside. Place roll tip-side down on the baking sheet.

Notes
Make sure to preheat the oven and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet for even puffing. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
