Recipe of the Week: Pizza Wheels


I love pizza. Who doesn’t love pizza anyways? Some people might not. They’re crazy, that’s for sure. They don’t know what they’re missing out on. But, I don’t blame them. “Don’t eat pizza”, I would say to them. “The less you eat, the more there’s for me”. Their loss, my gain.

This Saturday, I decided to revisit one of the world’s most popular dishes, and do it in a different way, pizza wheels way.

 

Pizza wheels 

Makes 16 or 20 pizza wheels

 

Ingredients:

-          1 store bought pizza dough, or 1 package puff pastry

-          1/3 cup pizza sauce

-          1 tablespoon fresh or dried oregano

-          1 garlic clove, minced

-          1/2 – 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella

-          24-30 thinly sliced pepperoni

-          2 tablespoons grated parmesan

Directions:

-          Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

-          Place dough onto a lightly floured surface, and roll out to about 0.5 cm thick (try to get the dough to 22x30 cm) (If you’re using puff pastry skip this step).

-          Spread pizza sauce sparingly over dough, and top with oregano, and garlic. 

-          Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over sauce, and finish by topping the dough with the pepperoni slices.

-          Starting at one end, carefully roll dough into a large, tight log, and place onto a cutting board, seam side down.

-          Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

-          Remove from refrigerator, and cut 2.54 cm or 3.81cm pinwheels from the log.

-          Dredge one cut side of each pinwheel in the cornmeal until well coated, and place (cornmeal side down) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or using a little bit of cooking spray.

-          Sprinkle top of each wheel with a small amount of Parmesan, and bake for 16-20 minutes or until golden brown (in the last 5-7 minutes, check the bottoms to make sure they’re not burning)

-          Allow to cool for 5 minutes, and serve with extra pizza sauce or ketchup for dipping.

Enjoy!
