1277/365 - Pizza Pinwheels

I really love cinnamon rolls, and they're super easy to make. You just toss ingredients on the dough, roll, and slice. So I started thinking - what else can you make that way?

Pizza pinwheels. That's what.

I pulled out the bread machine and got

So I rolled out the pizza dough I made in the bread machine and topped it with the traditional mozzarella and pepperoni toppings.

(Sometime I'm going to try a pesto and chicken roll. I think that would be delicious.)

Next I rolled the pizza dough into a log. I didn't split the dough in half, which probably would it made it easier to roll a tighter log.

I cut the log into one inch sections...

..and placed them on the a cookie sheet.

I then let them sit for about 20 minutes to rise.

After 20 minutes I popped them into the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Just add a little cup of dipping sauce and you're ready to go!
