We eat pizza at least once a week, so to change it up a little I made these Pepperoni Pizza Pinwheels. These pinwheels would make a great appetizer or main dinner. We like to have fun with the fillings, but I'd thought I would share a classic pepperoni version first.
I like to make my own homemade pizza dough, but you can find quality pre-made dough at Publix or Trader Joes. I haven't tried canned dough, but in my experience homemade is best. You can prep the dough the night before and keep it refrigerated until you wan to use it. Give these Pepperoni Pizza Pinwheels a try!
