Pizza Pinwheels
December 6, 2011
A Pillsbury recipe that Mom has included in her recipe files, this appetizer is simple and can be adapted to include your favorite pizza topping. Pizza Pinwheels are the sixth of my 25 Appetizers of Christmas.
Ingredients
- 1 Can (8oz) Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
- 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- ⅓ cup finely chopped pepperoni (about 1½ oz)
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped green bell pepper
- ½ cup shredded Italian cheese blend
- ½ cup pizza sauce
Directions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
- Unroll dough and separate into 4 rectangles; firmly press perforations to seal.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese, pepperoni, bell pepper and Italian cheese blend over each rectangle.
- Starting with one short side, roll up each rectangle; press edge to seal.
- With serrated knife, cut each roll into 6 slices; place cut side down on cookie sheet.
- Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
- Meanwhile, heat pizza sauce.
- Immediately remove pinwheels from cookie sheet.
- Serve warm with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
Variations
- Any finely chopped, fully cooked pizza topping could be used as a substitute for the pepperoni—bacon bits, chopped onion, ham, black olives, mushrooms, and so forth.
