Ingredients
Dough
Filling
- 2 tbsp Pizza Sauce
- 6 tbsp Mozzarella Cheese shredded
- Oregano dried, to taste
- Chili Flakes to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the sugar in lukewarm milk. The warm milk helps activate the yeast.
- Add the milk mixture and oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Kneading develops the gluten, which gives the pinwheels their structure.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the risen dough to release the air. Roll it out into a thin rectangular shape.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, oregano, and chili flakes.
- Starting from one of the short ends, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
- Wrap the log in parchment paper and refrigerate for 15 minutes. This will firm up the dough and make it easier to slice.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and slice into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a serrated knife.
- Arrange the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet. Let them rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Warm the remaining pizza sauce. Serve the pinwheels immediately with the warm pizza sauce for dipping.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Roll the dough tightly to prevent the filling from falling out while slicing.
- Refrigerating the dough helps make it easier to cut.
- Tomato sauce can be substituted for pizza sauce.
- Feel free to customize the toppings, but avoid overfilling to ensure clean slices.
- For quicker pinwheels, skip the 30-minute rest and bake immediately. Resting allows for puffier pinwheels.
Expert Tips
- For a visually appealing swirl, use contrasting colors in your fillings, such as red peppers and spinach, or pesto and sun-dried tomatoes.
- To prevent a soggy bottom, lightly pre-bake the dough before adding the filling and rolling it up. This helps create a crispier crust.
- Get creative with the dipping sauces! Try serving the pinwheels with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or a creamy garlic aioli.
Storage Instructions
- These pinwheels can be refrigerated in an airtight container.
- Reheat for 30-60 seconds in the microwave before serving.
- Leftover pinwheels can be cooled, stored in an airtight container, and reheated in a toaster oven or air fryer for a crisp texture the next day.
