Ingredients
1 lb (≈450 g) pizza dough or refrigerated dough
½–¾ cup pizza or marinara sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup pepperoni slices (or other toppings: cooked sausage, diced bell peppers, olives)
1 tbsp melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Dipping sauce: warm marinara or ranch
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into a roughly 12×16 in (30×40 cm) rectangle.
Spread sauce evenly over dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella then distribute pepperoni or chosen toppings.
Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
With a sharp knife, cut the log into 12–15 pinwheels about 1 in (2–3 cm) thick.
Place pinwheels cut-side up on prepared baking sheet, spacing slightly apart.
Optional: brush tops lightly with melted butter.
Bake 18–20 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve hot with warm dipping sauce.
