I love taking a simple meal and turning it just a notch on the special side. One way that I like to do that is to take a simple can of refrigerator biscuits or bread dough and turn it into something unexpected. One easy compliment to your dinner are these Garlic Parmesan Pinwheels.
Using store bought pizza dough in a can that you unroll and bake, you can easily make these and have them ready to serve in less than 15 minutes.
Garlic Parmesan Pinwheels
Ingredients:
1 can store bought pizza dough in a can (such as Pillsbury)
2 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup Parmesan
1 tsp. (or to taste) granulated garlic
1 tsp. italian seasoning
Optional: 1/4 cup shredded mozarella (not too much in this recipe though!)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray baking sheet with non stick cooking spray.
- On lightly floured surface, unroll pizza dough
- Spread butter/margarine on top of dough
- sprinkle with Parmesan, garlic, and italian seasoning, and mozarella (just a little or the pinwheels will unravel in the oven).
- Starting along a long edge, start tightly rolling the dough up like a cinnamon roll:
- Once it's rolled up, if the ends of your roll aren't even, go ahead and push it back together with the palm of your hand:
- slice into 1 inch slices and lay cut side up on the baking sheet.
- Spray just a small spritz of non stick cooking spray on the tops of the pinwheels and sprinkle tops with additional parmesan, garlic,and italian seasoning.
- Bake 10-12 minutes till golden brown:
