I was inspired to look into crescent roll recipes when I got a good coupon to buy some. The Pillsbury pizza pinwheels caught my eye. I revamped the recipe and the results were delightful.
Pizza Pinwheels
By Desiree Roughton
Ingredients:
*1 package garlic crescent rolls
* oz. cream cheese (softened)
*1/2 c. grated mozzarella cheese
*2 Italian sausage links
(cooked and diced or removed from casing and browned in pan)
*1/2 c. finely diced pepperoni
*Marinara sauce for dipping
Directions:
Makes 20 pinwheels.
Preheat oven to 350.
Divide crescent rolls into 4 rectangles. Use fingers to seal diagonal perforation in each block.
Mix together cream cheese, mozzarella, sausage, and pepperoni to create filling.
Equally spread filling on all 4 crescent rectangles. Roll up rectangles to create one large roll. Slice each roll into 5 pinwheels and place on cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes on UNLINED baking sheets.
Serve with marinara for dipping.
Ingredients can be adjusted to your taste. Most toppings will work as long as they are chopped fairly fine.
Enjoy!
