Description

These pizza pinwheels bake up crisp and golden, revealing pockets of bubbling mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan kissed with oregano and garlic. Perfectly bite-sized, they bring cheesy goodness to any gathering.


Ingredients

  • 1 sheet refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 10×12 inch rectangle.
  3. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, oregano, and garlic powder over the sauce.
  5. Starting from a long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log.
  6. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into twelve 1-inch pinwheels.
  7. Arrange pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart.
  8. Beat egg and water in a small bowl to make an egg wash, then brush over pinwheels.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden and cheese is melted.
  10. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add sliced pepperoni or chopped bell peppers.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to restore crispiness.
  • These pinwheels can be frozen unbaked and baked from frozen, adding 3-5 minutes to the baking time.
