Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a small, oven-safe bowl in the center to use as a guide.
  2. Arrange the crescent roll triangles in a circle around the bowl, with the wide ends overlapping and pointed tips facing out to create a sunburst shape.
  3. Press the overlapping dough to seal the base of the wreath. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and pepperoni evenly over the sealed ring.
  4. Fold the pointed tip of each triangle up and over the filling, tucking it under the base to secure it, forming the wreath.
  5. Remove the center guide bowl. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water. Brush the egg wash over the entire wreath.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until deep golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  7. While baking, melt the butter and stir in the Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
  8. As soon as the wreath comes out of the oven, brush it generously with the seasoned butter. Garnish with fresh parsley.
  9. Place the warm marinara sauce in a bowl in the center of the wreath and serve immediately.

Notes

Tip 1: For extra festive flair, use a small star-shaped cookie cutter on the pepperoni slices before adding them to the wreath.
Tip 2: Don't overcrowd the filling. A little goes a long way and prevents the wreath from becoming soggy or difficult to seal.
Tip 3: Serve with other dipping sauces like ranch or garlic butter for variety.
