Servings: 3

Ingredients

  • 1 can crescent roll dough
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 jar pizza sauce
  • toppings pepperoni, spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
  • Open the can of crescent roll dough and roll it onto a clean surface. Using your fingers, gently press and seal and perforations in the dough.
  • Spread pizza sauce evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Now add whatever toppings you want. I always love to add pepperoni and spinach for my kids!
  • Starting from one side, tightly roll the whole thing into a log.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled up log into 1/2 inch thick slices, creating the individual pinwheels.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange all the pinwheels on the sheet.
  • Cook the pinwheels in the oven for about 12 minutes or until they are golden brown. Cool and serve with a side of pizza sauce to dip!

Notes

If you want to add a hidden veggie, mix some sweet potato puree into the pizza sauce. You can't even taste it! I just use baby food sweet potato.
