Equipment
- 1 Convection oven
Ingredients
- 250 grams Pizza dough
- 5 tbsp Pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese
- 10 Slices Pepperoni
Instructions
- Roll out a pizza dough to 1/4 inch thickness, using a light dusting of flour to prevent sticking. I recommend keeping the dough slightly thick to allow for puffing during baking, giving the pepperoni pizza pinwheels a light, airy, yet crispy outside texture.
- Evenly layer the pizza sauce onto the rolled-out dough, leaving a small space along the edges. Layer shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce. Arrange sliced pepperoni evenly over the cheese, and sprinkle garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil over the pepperoni(this is optional).
- Starting from a long side, roll up the dough into a log(just like a burrito, stuffing the toppings inside using a spoon if they spill out), similar to a roll-up sandwich. Pinch the seam to seal the edge, then place the rolled dough seam on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the baking sheet with the rolled dough in the freezer for 1-2 hours, or until the dough firms up. Chilling makes it easier to slice the dough into pieces before baking.
- Remove the dough from the freezer and cut it into 1-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife. Allow the slices to sit out for 10-15 minutes while you preheat oven at 200°C for 15 minutes.
- Arrange the sliced pinwheels on a baking tray and brush the top with olive oil or butter. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes at 190°C, or until the pinwheels turn golden brown and the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
- Once baked, remove the pizza rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally providing additional pizza sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
