Pizza Pinwheels Recipe

Pizza Pinwheels

Prep Time 12 minutes Cook Time 25 minutes

When it comes to food, I always like to have a little fun. I mean really, I'm a parent of a 4-year-old who thinks she is one day going to be a rock climber/paleontologist/ballerina and a wife to a husband who thinks running 100 miles is a fun sport - it's required of me to be uniquely entertaining. These pizza pinwheels fit right in with having a good time. Fairly simple to make and amazingly delicious, these bite-sized treats are perfect for game day parties or even a school lunchbox!

4. Using your hands, roll the dough starting from the bottom and working up forming a roll. With a serrated knife, slice the dough into 1" sections. Place each section on the baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until firm and lightly golden. Allow to cool slightly before serving and serve with additional marinara or ranch dressing for dipping.
