1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil

2. Roll out the crescent dough into a rectangle and cut it into a large triangle tree shape.
3. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the triangle-shaped dough.
4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
5. Decorate the tree with mini pepperoni and diced bell peppers.
6. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning over the top.

Crescent dough works best cold—keep it refrigerated until ready.
Add fresh basil after baking for an herby finish.
