Ingredients:

• 12 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 2 c. shredded mozzarella
• 1/2 c. plus 2 tbsp. grated Parmesan, plus more for sprinkling
• 1/2 c. mini pepperoni
• 1/2 c. sliced black olives, drained
• 1/4 c. pizza sauce
• 1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped
• 1 Garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
• kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tubes crescent dough
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1/4 tsp. dried oregano
• Crackers, for serving
• Baguette slices, for serving

 

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350° and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, mini pepperoni, black olives, pizza sauce, bell pepper, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
2. Roll one sheet crescent dough out on prepared baking sheet, and pinch seams together to seal. Place cheese mixture in the center then use your hands to form mixture into a large football shape.
3. Place second sheet of crescent dough on top and press lightly to wrap dough around football. Pinch together seams then press around the bottom edges to seal. Using a paring knife, trace around the football to remove excess dough. (Reserve scraps to shape the laces.)
4. Cut the scraps into football laces and lay in center of football. Brush all over with olive oil then sprinkle with oregano and remaining Parmesan.
5. Bake until golden, about 25 minutes. Serve warm with crackers or bread.
