00:00Easy Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Pinwheels
00:02Pizza Pinwheels are bite-sized rolls of cheesy, saucy perfection.
00:07Soft dough filled with mozzarella, marinara, and pepperoni, baked golden in 30 minutes.
00:14Crispy outside, melty inside, and bursting with Italian flavor, they're the ultimate crowd-pleaser at any gathering.
00:20For the pizza pinwheels, use 560 grams homemade pizza dough, 130 grams marinara sauce, 5 grams Italian seasoning, 84 grams freshly shredded mozzarella cheese, and 30 grams thinly sliced turkey pepperoni for even distribution.
00:36Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
00:42The low heat helps the dough cook evenly without burning the cheese.
00:45Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-by-16-inch rectangle, about a quarter-inch thick, keeping the layer even for uniform baking.
00:55Spread marinara sauce evenly, leaving a 1-inch border, then sprinkle Italian seasoning over it.
01:02Add turkey pepperoni and mozzarella, pressing lightly so the toppings stick.
01:07Roll the dough tightly from the long side, then slice into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife, wiping it clean between cuts for neat spirals.
01:14Arrange the slices cut side up on the sheet, 2 inches apart, and bake for 20 minutes until golden, bubbly, and perfectly cheesy.
01:24For gluten-free adaptation, use gluten-free dough and marinara, then dust extra flour for rolling, and bake slightly longer for the best texture.
01:33For dairy-free modifications, swap mozzarella with dairy-free shreds, add nutritional yeast, and ensure the dough is dairy-free.
01:41To try flavor variations, try Mediterranean, Veggie Supreme, Spicy, or Breakfast-Style Twists.
01:47For meat alternatives, go vegetarian.
01:50Use other meats like salami or sausage, or pick plant-based pepperoni.
01:54Store leftover pinwheels in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
01:58Reheat in a 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for 5 to 7 minutes to keep them crisp.
02:04Avoid microwaving.
02:06For longer storage, freeze up to 2 months.
02:08Freeze on a tray first, then transfer to freezer bags.
