Time for a new party recipe! The best part about party recipes is that you can enjoy them along with your guests. Or you can do what my husband does and be so much of a social butterfly that you don’t actually get around to eating anything. I don’t recommend that! I’m able to do both. I love to have friends over for wine and appetizers, and somehow I manage to enjoy my food and drink and still visit with friends. These Pizza Pinwheels are great because you can make them ahead and just pop them in the oven when you’re ready for them to be baked and served. The inspiration for these Pizza Pinwheels comes from the idea of starting with a very basic dough made with just two ingredients. People have been using this dough all over the internet for making pizza dough, bagels, breadsticks and more! It’s a fun dough to play around with and create new recipes.
The two ingredients in question are Self-Rising Flour and Greek Yogurt. If you don’t happen to have self-rising flour, here’s an easy way to make your own self-rising flour. I understand not wanting to buy a whole bag of it when you don’t know if you’ll be able to use it all. I’d definitely not recommend using a nonfat version of Greek yogurt as you want the yogurt to be on the thick side of things. Nonfat yogurt may change the flour to yogurt ratio and create a dough that is wetter than you want. I use 2% Plain Greek yogurt for this recipe.
How to make Pizza Pinwheels:
Just mix the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt together (in my recipe I have added a tiny bit of sugar too), and then roll it out onto a floured mat. I top mine with pesto sauce, pepperoni, and an Italian cheese blend.
Roll it up all snuggly.
Carefully slice, and you’ll end up with about 16 sliced rolls.
Top each roll with a little bit more cheese blend.
Bake for 20 minutes. Serve with pizza sauce or a very smooth marinara sauce for dipping. These Pizza Pinwheels make for great party food! These are a nice little treat for any old time. I happened to make them during the day last week and they made for a great after-school snack. The possibilities are endless for trying different fillings too. Maybe even a sweet cinnamon-roll-like version? I can’t wait to try that!
