Ingredients
Before you start, gather the following ingredients:

– 1/2 cup of sliced bell peppers
– 1/2 cup of sliced onions
– 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
2. Unroll the crescent rolls onto the prepared baking sheet. Separate the triangles and press any seams together to ensure they stay together while baking.
3. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each crescent roll triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza sauce on each triangle.
5. Add your desired toppings, such as pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. You can mix and match any combination of toppings you like.
6. Starting at the wide end of each triangle, roll it up to form a pocket. Press the edges together to seal the pockets.
7. Repeat steps 3-6 with the remaining crescent rolls.
8. Place the pizza pockets on the baking sheet, leaving some space between them to allow for expansion during baking.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Remove the pizza pockets from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
11. Serve the pizza pockets warm, and enjoy!
