Yummy Pizza Pinwheels Recipe (2024)

If you want the yummy taste of pizza in a bite sized form why not try this Pizza Pinwheels recipe? They are delicious and so very quick and easy to make!

I must say that I am a bit of a pinwheel recipe lover. I made these Delicious Savoury Pinwheels about three years ago and I have been hooked on these bite sized little pastry spirals ever since!

Pinwheels are such wonderful appetizers and they are great at parties whether it is for adults or kids. Plus at this time of year they are great for all those Christmas and New Year get togethers!

I have tried a few different flavour combinations over the last couple of years with varying success. But I think that I am on a winner with this pizza pinwheels recipe because these seem to tick all the boxes. These are very quick and easy to make, they are absolutely scrumptious, and they freeze well.

If you want to make them ahead of time just place them into an airtight container after they have cooled and pop them in the freezer. Then just reheat them in the oven when you need them.

We usually have a bit of finger food on Christmas Eve so I have some of these ready in the freezer so that I only have to heat them up on Thursday night!

I used green capsicum because it adds a bit of colour contrast to the red pizza sauce but you could use what every colour capsicum you want – the pinwheels will taste the same! I also used one of the Leggo’s pizza sauce sachets for this pinwheels recipe because they are just the right size and I like their pizza sauce with garlic, onion and herbs!

If you want the yummy taste of pizza in a bite sized form why not try this Pizza Pinwheels recipe? They are delicious and so very quick and easy to make!

Serves: 30

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets of ready rolled puff pastry
  • 1 small green capsicum, deseeded and diced into small pieces
  • 100g of bacon pieces
  • 175g of grated tasty cheese
  • 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of barbeque sauce
  • 50g of thinly sliced salami

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 220 °C (430 °F)
  2. Place the capsicum, bacon, cheese, and sauces into a medium sized bowl and mix well to ensure that the bacon, cheese, and capsicum are coated with the sauces.
  3. Lay the ready rolled puff pastry sheets on a bench and divide the mixture between the two sheets.
  4. Spread the mixture out over the surface of the pastry leaving about 1 inch at the top.
  5. Lay some pieces of sliced salami on top of the mixture (don’t worry if you don’t cover all of the pastry but try to have some going from one side of the pastry to the other so that when you roll it up each pinwheel will have some salami).
  6. Moisten the top edge of the pastry with water and then carefully roll the pastry up from the bottom to form a log.
  7. Cut the rolled pastry into 1 cm thick pieces.
  8. Carefully transfer the pinwheels onto a lined baking tray, laying them down on their side.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on tray before serving.

FAQs

How far in advance can you roll out pizza dough? ›

You can refrigerate the dough after almost any step, but after the first rise (or a little before) works best. Store it, covered, in the refrigerator for 1-3* days.

Is it better to roll pizza dough cold or room temp? ›

Before you begin stretching, warm up your cold dough for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. Gluten, the protein that makes pizza dough chewy, is tighter in cold conditions like the fridge, which is why cold pizza dough will stretch out and snap back just like a rubber band.

Can I refrigerate rolled out pizza dough? ›

Storing homemade pizza dough in the fridge can actually enhance its flavor! This is a great option if you're looking to prepare your dough ahead of time so that it is ready for an easy weeknight dinner, pizza night, or to use in making breadsticks. To store, coat an airtight container or bowl with olive oil.

What is the best flour for rolling out pizza? ›

The all purpose helps prevent the dough from sticking and the semolina flour is slightly coarser and helps the pizza slide off the peel and on to the baking steel. If you don't have semolina, you can use 100% all-purpose flour.

Where is the best place to roll pizza dough? ›

That can be marble, but it can also be butcher block countertops, or even just a wooden cutting board placed down so the dough can be rolled out. Of course, we don't think there's anything wrong with rolling out your dough on stainless steel.

What is the least favorite pizza topping? ›

For the YouGov.com poll, 61% of respondents said they disliked anchovies, while nearly half of those surveyed said eggplant was not a good topping on pizza. Artichoke had a disapproval rating of 44%, followed by Broccoli at 39% and pineapple with 35% disapproval.

What is the most popular pizza flavor? ›

Pepperoni. Poll after poll, pepperoni always tops the list of America's favorite pizza toppings. When it doubt, you can't go wrong with a classic.

Can you roll out pizza bases in advance? ›

If you are making the pizza bases in advance, once the dough has been divided and rolled, cover and place into the fridge. Remove one hour before needed to allow the dough to come up to temperature. If you want to freeze the pizza bases roll them out before you put them in the freezer.

Can pizza dough be made ahead of time? ›

To make it even easier to roll out, prepare it ahead, and refrigerate it overnight. Refrigerated dough will keep several days. It may also be successfully frozen and thawed. Keeping preweighed individual frozen dough balls on hand makes it easy to have pizza whenever you like.

How long can pizza dough sit out before baking? ›

Standard pizza dough (with more yeast) can sit out on the counter for 2-4 hours, while a Neapolitan-style pizza dough (with less yeast) can be left out for up to 24 hours. Pizza dough should be stored in an airtight container, zip lock bags, or covered with plastic wrap.

How long can pizza rolls sit out before going bad? ›

Pizza rolls can sit out in the fridge for up to four days but eating them older than that can increase your risk of contracting foodborne illnesses. They should never sit out longer than two hours. Similarly, you should not warm up a pizza roll in the microwave if it has been sitting out for longer than that.

Why does my pizza dough shrink when I roll it? ›

However, gluten also has a tendency to shrink. When you roll it out, the gluten tries to come together again, causing the dough to shrink.
