Pizza Crescent Rolls with Alfredo Sauce

Am I the only one that's seen those commercials on TV where they take the Pillsbury rolls and do something creative with them? No? Great! So those commercials got me thinking- I want to try something like that- but do everything made from scratch instead. (We all know whenever something's homemade from scratch it's flavor is so much better!) I was looking in the fridge for what I could use to stuff my Crescent rolls with and I thought- why not try putting Freshly Shredded Mozzarella cheese, Pepperoni, and homemade Alfredo sauce  in the middle! Needless to say the hubster and I both agreed this was a recipe to keep on hand for the future- not to mention I'll be making these as appetizers the next time we host poker night! They are totally mess free, and you can slice them in half or thirds to be the perfect bite sized burst of delicious-ness!

What You'll Need: 

3 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour (plus a little extra)

1/4 Cup Sugar

1/4 Cup Butter-Softened

1tsp salt

2 1/4 tsp yeast

1/2 cup very warm water (120-130 degrees)

1/2 cup very warm milk 

1 large egg

Pepperoni

Mozzarella cheese

Homemade Alfredo Sauce: Homemade Alfredo Sauce Recipe

What to Do:

 In Large Bowl (Stand Mixers work best) stir 2 cups of flour, sugar, butter, salt and yeast until fully mixed. Add the water, milk, and egg. Beat on a low speed for 1 minute, and then a medium speed for 1 minute.

Switch blender blade to a dough hook- and start mixing with that- slowly adding extra flour until dough is a consistency that is easy to handle.

Place dough on a hard very lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes- until dough is smooth and springy.

Grease a large bowl with cooking spray, put the dough ball in it and make sure all sides of the dough are greased. Then cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour- dough should double in size. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.

When Dough is done rising- split in half- and roll each piece out to about a 12" circle and cut it like you would a pizza (into 8 pieces)

 Take each triangle of dough and start with a dollop of the alfredo sauce (you don't want to put too much, because it will ooze out and cause a big mess!)

Add Pepperoni and Mozzarella cheese on top  and then begin to roll the dough like you normally would a crescent roll.

Place on a greased baking sheet and cook in oven at 375 degrees for 10 minutes

Vo'ila these things are so incredibly tasty! I hope you enjoy these as much as we did!
