Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, make sure the crescent dough is thawed before assembling the pinwheels.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into even strips. This will help the pinwheels hold their shape during baking.
  • Don't overfill the pinwheels with the sausage and cheese mixture. This will make them difficult to roll and seal.
  • Brush the pinwheels with an egg wash before baking. This will give them a golden brown color.
  • Serve the pinwheels warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
