Pizza Swirls Recipes

PIZZA PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Roll out a long piece of parchment paper and lightly flour it . Roll dough into a 12x16 inch rectangle on floured parchment.
• Whisk together all of the Pizza Sauce ingredients. Evenly spread 3/4 cup Pizza Sauce over dough, leaving a 1" border on the top long edge (the side you will roll towards so it can seal - see recipe post photos).
• Microwave pepperoni on a paper towel lined plate for 20 seconds then dab off any excess grease. Evenly top sauce with mozzarella, pepperoni, green bell peppers and Parmesan.
• Starting from the long side closest towards you, tightly roll up the dough, pinching in any escaping ingredients and seal up seam. Don't worry about it looking too pretty! Using a serrated knife, cut off the ends of the roll (if they are uneven) then slice roll into 12 equal pieces. I find the easiest way to do this is to slice the roll in half, then in half again so you have 4 equal pieces. Slice each of these pieces into 3 pinwheels.
• Place each pinwheel, cut side up, on prepared baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until dough is golden. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before removing pinwheels from pan to a wire rack. The Pizza Pinwheels will be a little soft at first but will firm up as they cool. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with remaining warmed pizza sauce if desired.
• To Freeze: Allow BAKED Pizza Pinwheels to cool to room temperature. Store in a large sealable plastic bag. When ready to eat, thaw, then bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes or until warmed through.

PIZZA PUFF PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Unroll the pastry onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to 40 x 32cm. Spread a layer of pasta sauce over it, leaving a 1cm border around the edges. Arrange the ham evenly on top, then scatter the grated cheese over.
• Starting at one of the short ends, roll the pastry up as tightly as possible. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes or so.
• Take a very sharp knife and cut the roll into 12 equal slices, laying them flat on 2 non-stick baking trays as you go. Brush each pinwheel lightly with beaten egg and sprinkle over the herbs. Bake for 12-15 minutes until puffed and golden. Leave to stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

CORNED BEEF PIZZA SWIRLS

Steps:

• Add sugar and yeast to warm milk; let stand 15 minutes. Beat yeast mixture, oil, kosher salt and caraway seeds until blended. Beat in flour, 1/2 cup at a time, just until combined. With oiled hands, place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours., Meanwhile, mix all ingredients for Thousand Island sauce; refrigerate., Punch down dough. To assemble pizza swirls, turn dough onto a well-floured surface; roll into a 15x10-in. rectangle. Arrange corned beef and cheese slices to within 3/4 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal and tuck ends under. Cut crosswise into 1-in. slices. Place slices, sides touching, on a parchment-lined baking sheet., Preheat oven to 375°. Cover pizza swirls with greased foil; let stand 20 minutes. Bake, covered, 20 minutes; remove foil and bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes longer. Serve warm with Thousand Island sauce.
