    Refrigerated pizza dough, jarred Alfredo sauce, shredded cheese and broccoli are all you need for these delicious cheesy bites.

    There is a little debate about whether pinwheels are made with pizza dough and baked or with tortillas and refrigerated. I've never been a stickler for food rules, so I'm not sweating it and I'm confident in calling these broccoli alfredo pinwheels. Some might even call them pizza rolls or roll ups but I'm sticking with pinwheels. Whichever way, they are delish.

    Pinwheel Ingredients

    ingredients on baking sheet in packaging and bowls
    • Pizza Crust - I use the thin pizza crust. I find that the regular gets a bit too doughy and thick.
    • Alfredo Sauce - Whatever your preference is. I really like one that has a bit of lemon flavor in it when pairing with broccoli, so I chose this one from Trader Joes.
    • Broccoli - Frozen Vs. Fresh. Typically I say fresh. If you are using fresh be sure to cook it well enough that it will chop up easily. I am actually using frozen in this recipe. Take note, if using frozen, after it's been cooked, you MUST remove as much water as possible. I put in a colander and push down with a few paper towels.
    • Cheese - Mozzarella or any mozzarella blend will work well here. Grated parmesan can also be added if desired.

    How To Make Pinwheels

    Start by spreading Alfredo sauce on rolled out pizza dough. Leave a little bit of a border around the edges.

    Next, add broccoli & cheese. Use your hands to push the ingredients down a bit, pretty much smushing it down. This will make it easier to roll in the next step.

    Fold in the small ends and then begin folding the long sides as tightly as you can without ripping the dough.

    Once it's in a log shape, use a sharp knife and cut into slices. I usually get about 15 slices out of each pizza dough. Place the slices on a parchment or Silpat lined baking sheet.

    If you want to add Parmesan cheese to the top before baking, now is time. I do not bother, they're cheesy enough. Bake about 15 minutes and they're ready to serve.
