A fun and tasty twist on classic pizza, these pinwheels are perfect for a quick snack or party appetizer.
Preheat your oven to 450°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle on a floured surface.
Use a rolling pin to achieve an even thickness for consistent baking.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
Leave a small border around the edges to prevent the sauce from spilling out.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Distribute the cheese evenly for a uniform taste.
Arrange the pepperoni slices over the cheese.
Ensure each slice will have some pepperoni for balanced flavor.
Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 10 equal pieces.
Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts and maintain the shape of the pinwheels.
Place the slices cut side down on a greased baking sheet.
Spacing the slices ensures they bake evenly without sticking together.
Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
The oil helps the tops brown beautifully while the cheese adds a savory finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Cheesy Pizza Pinwheels.
Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
