These Pizza Pinwheels wrap puff pastry around a cozy mix of pizza sauce, melty cheddar, pepperoni, and peppers, then bake into golden, cheesy spirals. Each slice has all the flavors of a classic pepperoni pizza—made extra fun with buttery, flaky layers.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 sheets rolled puff pastry sheets

1 egg

1/2 cup pizza sauce

1 cup sharp cheddar

40-50 slices pepperoni

2 tablespoons finely diced green peppers

2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon oregano

Instructions

  1. Carefully unroll the puff pastry and leave on the parchment it is packaged in.
  2. Spread half of the pizza sauce on each puff pastry to cover the entire surface, minus a one-inch strip along the long side.
  3. Divide the cheese and sprinkle over the pizza sauce.
  4. Place the pepperoni evenly over the surface of each puff pastry.
  5. Sprinkle with the finely diced green peppers.
  6. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and oregano.
  7. Carefully, and as tightly as you can without ripping the dough, roll the puff pastry along the long side, opposite of the space we left empty in step 2.
  8. Crack the egg into a bowl and stir with a fork. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg along the empty space to create the seam for the pinwheel.
  9. Allow the roll to rest on the seam and use the parchment it was packaged in to roll the entire log and place in the freezer for about 15 minutes or so to firm up before cutting.
  10. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line and spray a couple baking sheets, set aside.
  11. Once the pinwheels have chilled, remove from the freezer and immediately slice into ½ inch or so size pieces. Place cut side up on the prepared parchment.
  12. Brush each pinwheel with the egg wash.
  13. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes or just until browned.
  14. Serve with additional pizza sauce to dip.
