Pizza Pinwheels Recipe

Pizza Pinwheels are one of those snacks that bring all the joy of pizza in a bite-sized, fun shape. Imagine soft, fluffy dough rolled with tangy pizza sauce, crunchy veggies, and melty cheese, then baked to golden perfection. These pinwheels are a great alternative when you want something different from the usual pizza slice but still crave that familiar cheesy flavor.

  • 3 tablespoon + 2 teaspoon mozarella cheese
  • oregano as required
  • chilli flakes as needed

Instructions

  • Take water, olive oil, sugar and salt. Add yeast to it and whisk it well. Set aside.
  • Mix wheat flour and maida in a mixing bowl. Whisk it well.
  • Now add the flour mixture to the yeast solution.
  • Mix well and knead it to a soft pliable dough. Set aside to rest in a warm place for atleast an hour.
  • Then flour a surface and roll it to slightly thick rectangle shape. Add pizza sauce, sprinkle oregano.
  • Then add onion and capsicum. Sprinkle cheese. Roll it tightly.
  • Roll into a log , cling wrap it and refrigerate it for 10mins just to make the dough stiff.
  • Preheat oven at 180 deg C for 10mins.
  • Then brush pin wheels with olive oil and cut into slightly thick slices.
  • Line the baking tray with silver foil and arrange the pizza slices with cut side on top.
  • Sprinkle cheese, oregano and chilli flakes.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 180 deg C for 15-20 mins or until the edges start to brown.
  • Serve Pizza Pinwheels hot / warm!!

Notes

  • Dough texture – Your dough should be soft and smooth. If it feels sticky, sprinkle a little flour and knead again. If it feels too tight or dry, add a few drops of water to loosen it.
  • Roll tightly – When rolling the dough with the filling, make sure to roll it tightly so the filling stays inside and the slices don’t fall apart during baking.
  • Chill before slicing – After rolling, refrigerate the dough log for 15-20 minutes. This helps firm up the roll and makes slicing neater and easier.
  • Use a sharp knife – This helps you get clean, even slices without squishing the roll.
  • Bake time – Check after 12 minutes of baking. The pinwheels should be golden on the edges and the cheese melted and bubbly.
