Pizza Pinwheels

Who doesn’t love pizza especially if made in bite size shapes. These Pizza Pinwheels are nothing more than homemade buttery dough filled with pizza toppings, rolled into small treats and served hot is simply hard to resist.

These pizza pinwheels make a great appetizer for any family gathering or party. Whenever I want to make pinwheels from scratch this is the dough recipe I like to work with. But if in a hurry you can use store-bought puff pastry, pizza or crescent roll dough.

For extra flavor I suggest you to try this homemade tomato pizza sauce to spread over the dough. It is very flavorful and makes the pinwheels even more irresistible.

Serve these pinwheels right after baking to enjoy the great texture of the buttery dough with melted cheese and hot pepperoni. Use your favorite dip and enjoy.
