Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (13.8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough sheet (seamless preferred)
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

  • Instructions

    1. Prepare your baking surface: Preheat your oven to 375 F (190 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.

    2. Unroll the dough: Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough sheet onto the prepared baking sheet. If using perforated dough, gently pinch together any seams to create a solid surface.

    3. Spread the flavor base: In a small bowl, combine the drained and finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped fresh basil, chopped fresh oregano, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything until well combined.

    4. Distribute the filling: Evenly spread the tomato and herb mixture over the entire surface of the crescent roll dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges. This ensures every bite is packed with flavor.

    5. Roll it up: Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully and tightly roll the dough into a log. Once rolled, gently pinch the ends to seal them.

    6. Shape and top: Transfer the log seam-side down onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra savory crust.

    7. Bake to golden perfection: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through. The exact time may vary slightly depending on your oven.

    8. Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring it to a cutting board. Slice and serve warm.
