Easy Baked Mozzarella Sticks Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 slices
• 8 ounces pizza sauce

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).

Step 2: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a flat surface, separating it into 4 rectangles. Press the perforations together to seal them.

Step 3: Cut each rectangle into two smaller rectangles, creating a total of 8 individual pieces.

Step 4: Place one slice of mozzarella cheese on each dough rectangle. Roll each piece tightly, sealing the edges well to prevent the cheese from spilling out.

Step 5: Arrange the rolled dough pieces seam-side down on a baking sheet.

Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 13 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.

Step 7: While the rolls are baking, warm the pizza sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, about 5 minutes.

Step 8: Once the crescent rolls are done, remove them from the oven and serve with the warm pizza sauce for dipping.
