Pizza Pinwheels

Pizza Pinwheels are made from a soft, homemade dough with delicious toppings inside and melted cheese on top, they are an amazing weeknight meal !

Pizza Pinwheels are my favorite quick weeknight dinner to whip up. They are so easy to make, they are much better than cheap frozen pizzas and I get absolutely no complaints from the kids about what is for dinner! They are always a win!

Ingredients :

• 1 cup warm water
• 1 TBSP yeast
• 1 TBSP sugar
• 1 TBSP oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 1/2- 3 cups flour
• 1 1/2- 2 cups Ragu® Six Cheese Pasta Sauce + more for dipping
• 2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cups total pizza toppings- mini pepperoni diced ham, sliced olives, and pineapple tidbits, etc.

Instructions :

1. Combine warm water, yeast and sugar in a mixing bowl and let sit for about 3-4 minutes, until yeast is bubbling up. Add in oil, salt and flour. 
2. Start with 2 1/2 cups of flour, then add more until the dough cleans the sides of the mixing bowl. 
3. (I use a mixer for this part as it makes it just so much easier!) Continue mixing for an additional 3-4 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place for 15 minutes. In cold weather, I like to turn my oven on for about 3 or 4 minutes, then turn it off and let my dough rest in the oven.
4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
5. Spray counter top with non-stick cooking spray and roll dough out into a large rectangle about 1/4" thick. Top with Ragu® Pasta Sauce and spread to coat dough. sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese. Add pizza toppings- I did a section of dough for pepperoni pinwheels, another section with just cheese and a third with ham and pineapple. Top with another 1 cup of cheese.
6. Starting with one of the long sides of the rectangle, roll dough up tightly, pinching the seams to close at the end. Use a sharp, thin knife to cut 1 1/2" sections of dough from the large roll. This will result in about 15 pinwheels.
