  • Author: Sarah White

Description

Make delicious Pizza Pinwheels with simple ingredients; perfect for parties, snacks, and quick dinners the whole family will love.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12.4 ounces refrigerated pizza dough (1 tube)
  • ⅓ cup marinara sauce, plus more for dipping
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ⅓ cup pepperoni slices
  • ¼ cup green bell pepper, finely diced
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly flour a clean surface and unroll the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangle.
  2. Add the sauce
    Spread ⅓ cup of marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
  3. Add toppings and cheese
    Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, diced green bell pepper, and grated parmesan evenly over the surface.
  4. Roll the dough
    Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
  5. Cut into pinwheels
    Using a sharp knife, cut the log into slices about 1-inch thick.
  6. Bake the pinwheels
    Place the slices onto a lined baking sheet. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  7. Garnish and serve
    Sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra parmesan. Serve warm with additional marinara sauce.

Notes

Use a serrated knife to cut the rolled dough cleanly.

For extra crispiness, brush edges with olive oil before baking.

Let the log chill in the fridge for 10 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
