Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the refrigerated crescent dough and separate it into 16 triangles.
  3. Overlap the bases of the dough triangles on the baking sheet and press the edges together.
  4. Spread pizza sauce across the dough, sprinkle mozzarella cheese, and layer with pepperoni.
  5. Fold the pointed ends of the dough over the filling to create a candy cane shape.
  6. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Once baked, cool slightly, garnish with basil, and serve warm with extra sauce for dipping.
