Assemble the Roll Ups:
- Place 3 slices of pepperoni on the wide end of each crescent triangle.

- Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and/or onion powder. My favorite is O.M.G. Seasoning for all of the flavors, and them some, in one.
- Roll each crescent starting from the wide end, ensuring the toppings stay snugly inside.
- Egg Wash & Seasoning:

Troubleshooting & Common Mistakes:
- Overstuffing: Avoid overfilling your croissant pizza rolls to prevent toppings from spilling out.
- Uneven Cooking: Make sure croissant pizza roll-ups are in a single layer on the baking sheet, and not touching at all.
- Soggy Dough: Use an egg wash and avoid putting sauce in the roll up, use for dipping.
