How to cook deliciously - Pizza Football Bomb

1. Stage

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. Stage

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. Stage

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.)
