Notes

Use a cookie cutter or the rim of a drinking glass to cut your pizza crust circles out of the crescent dough.
Be sure to purchase a crescent dough sheet, not the actual rolls. The dough for rolls comes pre-cut into triangles and it will be hard to cut out circles.
I recommend shredding your own cheese for this recipe. The pre-shredded cheese in bags at the grocery store often contains anti caking agents and doesn’t melt smoothly.
