– Baking Dish – Parchment Paper – Cutting Board and Knife – Measuring Spoons and Cups – Pastry Brush – Oven and Oven Mitts – Serving Platter
– 2 tubes crescent roll dough refrigerated – 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded – 1 cup tomatoes diced – 1/2 cup fresh basil chopped – 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated – 1/4 cup black olives sliced – 1 clove garlic minced – 1 tablespoon olive oil – Salt and pepper to taste – Marinara sauce for dipping optional
1. Preheat your oven according to the crescent roll package instructions. 2. In a mixing bowl, combine mozzarella cheese, diced tomatoes, chopped basil, Parmesan cheese, black olives, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well. 3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and arrange the triangles on a baking sheet, creating a circle with the wide ends overlapping. Press the seams together to seal.
4. Spoon the filling onto the wide ends of the crescent dough, evenly distributing it around the ring. 5. Fold the pointed ends of the crescents over the filling, tucking them under the wide ends to create a ring. Press to seal any openings. 6. Bake in the preheated oven for the time specified on the crescent roll package or until the crust is golden brown.
7. Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the Italian Crescent Ring on a platter, and optionally, provide marinara sauce for dipping.
