Step 1

Preheat oven to 375° F. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil.

Step 2

Lightly flour a cutting board or counter. Roll out the dough into a rectangle shape roughly 18 inches by 12 inches. If the dough is not staying rolled out, leave it on the counter for 5-10 minutes to reach room temperature.

Step 3

Spread the pizza sauce over the entire pizza dough, leaving an inch margin on the top and bottom of the dough.

Step 4

Sprinkle the mozzarella over the pizza sauce. Add any extra toppings. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the parmesan.

Step 5

Starting at the bottom of the long side of the pizza dough, roll tightly upwards until you have a log shape. Gently push the seems together. Using a serrated (bread) knife, slice the dough into 2-inch sections. For thicker pinwheels, aim for 12 slices. For thinner pinwheels, aim for 16 slices.

Step 6

Place the pinwheels on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the remaining parmesan.

Step 7

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until just golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet.

Step 8

Whole Wheat Homemade Pizza Dough: place 1 cup warm water, 1 packet of instant yeast and 1 teaspoon honey into a large bowl and let fit for 5-10 minutes or until it becomes bubbly. Add in 2 cups of white whole wheat flour, 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp salt and mix with a dough hook in a stand mixer or handheld mixer. You can also knead by hand for 2-3 minutes on a floured surface. If sticky, add in more flour, 1 tbsp at a time. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and let kit for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours. Place the risen dough on a lightly floured counter and knead a few more times. Wait for 15 minutes and then roll out into a rectangle.

Step 9

Pizza Toppings: choose from tomato sauce, pesto, or just olive oil; veggies like mushrooms, tomatoes, and broccoli; favorite pizza meats like pepperoni and sausage; and any melty cheese from mozzarella to cheddar.

Step 10

Pizza Variations: try Classic with pepperoni, Veggie with mushrooms and peppers, BBQ with chicken, Italian with sausage, or Greek with feta
