Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 13 oz. pkg. refrigerated pizza dough
OR 1 Recipe Homemade Pizza Dough (prepared through step 4*)
2 cups marinara sauce
1/2 tsp EACH (onion powder, dried basil, dried parsley)
1/4 tsp EACH dried oregano (garlic powder, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper)
1 cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
32 pepperonis
1/2 cup finely chopped green peppers ((or combo of your fav chopped toppings))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Roll out a long piece of parchment paper and lightly flour it . Roll dough into a 12x16 inch rectangle on floured parchment.
  • Whisk together all of the Pizza Sauce ingredients. Evenly spread 3/4 cup Pizza Sauce over dough, leaving a 1" border on the top long edge (the side you will roll towards so it can seal - see recipe post photos).
  • Microwave pepperoni on a paper towel lined plate for 20 seconds then dab off any excess grease. Evenly top sauce with mozzarella, pepperoni, green bell peppers and Parmesan.
  • Starting from the long side closest towards you, tightly roll up the dough, pinching in any escaping ingredients and seal up seam. Don't worry about it looking too pretty! Using a serrated knife, cut off the ends of the roll (if they are uneven) then slice roll into 12 equal pieces. I find the easiest way to do this is to slice the roll in half, then in half again so you have 4 equal pieces. Slice each of these pieces into 3 pinwheels.
  • Place each pinwheel, cut side up, on prepared baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until dough is golden. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before removing pinwheels from pan to a wire rack. The Pizza Pinwheels will be a little soft at first but will firm up as they cool. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with remaining warmed pizza sauce if desired.
  • To Freeze: Allow BAKED Pizza Pinwheels to cool to room temperature. Store in a large sealable plastic bag. When ready to eat, thaw, then bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes or until warmed through.

PIZZA PINWHEELS



PIZZA PINWHEELS image

Pizza Pinwheels are made from a soft, homemade dough with delicious toppings inside and melted cheese on top, they are an amazing weeknight meal or favorite appetizer!

Provided by Jessica & Nellie

Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup warm water
1 TBSP yeast
1 TBSP sugar
1 TBSP oil
1 tsp salt
2 1/2- 3 cups flour
1 1/2 cups pizza sauce (or traditional marinara sauce)
2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups total pizza toppings- mini pepperoni (diced ham, sliced olives, and pineapple tidbits, etc.)

Steps:

  • Combine warm water, yeast and sugar in a mixing bowl and let sit for about 3-4 minutes, until yeast is bubbling up.
  • Add in oil, salt and flour. Start with 2 1/2 cups of flour, then add more until the dough cleans the sides of the mixing bowl. (I use a mixer for this part as it makes it just so much easier!) Continue mixing for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place for 15 minutes. In cold weather, I like to turn my oven on for about 3 or 4 minutes, then turn it off and let my dough rest in the oven.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray counter top with non-stick cooking spray and roll dough out into a large rectangle about 1/4" thick.
  • Top with pizza sauce and spread to coat dough. Sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese. Add pizza toppings- I did a section of dough for pepperoni pinwheels, another section with just cheese and a third with ham and pineapple. Top with another 1 cup of cheese.
  • Starting with one of the long sides of the rectangle, roll dough up tightly, pinching the seams to close at the end. Use a sharp, thin knife to cut 1 1/2" sections of dough from the large roll. This will result in about 15 pinwheels.
  • Set pinwheels on a large greased baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove from oven and top with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Return to oven for an additional 1-2 minutes, until cheese is melted and rolls are just beginning to turn golden brown.
  • Serve hot with warmed pizza sauce to dip on the side.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the pizza dough into thin strips. This will help ensure that the pinwheels cook evenly.
  • Be generous with the fillings. The more fillings you use, the tastier the pinwheels will be.
  • Don't overfill the pinwheels. If they're too full, they'll be difficult to roll up and they may burst open while baking.
  • Bake the pinwheels until they're golden brown. This will help ensure that the dough is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the pinwheels cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the cheese from spilling out.

Conclusion:

Pinwheel pizza loaf is a delicious and versatile dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a variety of fillings to choose from, you're sure to find a combination that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy recipe, give pinwheel pizza loaf a try.
