Ingredients

  • 1 package refrigerated pizza crust dough (13.8 ounces)
  • 6 tablespoons pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • ½ cup sliced pepperoni
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 garlic clove grated
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil optional, for garnish
  • 1 batch Pesto Ranch optional, for serving

Instructions

  • Make the Pinwheels: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Unroll pizza dough into a rectangle (about 13x9 inches). Spread pizza sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Sprinkle with mozzarella, 1/4 cup Parmesan, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes, if using. Arrange pepperoni in a single layer on top.
  • Starting at the bottom edge, roll dough sheet up like a jelly roll. Using a serrated knife, cut roll crosswise into 3 pieces, then cut each section crosswise into 4 pieces, for a total of 12 pieces.
  • Arrange pieces flat on prepared baking pan. Transfer to oven and bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
  • Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together melted butter and garlic until well combined.
  • When pinwheels come out of oven, immediately brush with garlic butter and sprinkle with basil and remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Serve warm, or at room temperature, with Pesto Ranch for dipping.
