Ingredients
  

For the Pinwheels

  • 1 dough pizza dough See notes for homemade or store-bought options.
  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • 3 ½ ounces thinly sliced ham
  • ½ cup pineapple tidbits
  • 10 ounces shredded mozzarella
  • 2 tablespoons minced chives Optional for garnish.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Form the pizza dough into a rectangular shape, using the backside of an 18"x13" baking sheet.
  • Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving ½ inch without sauce at one of the short ends.
  • Add the ham, pineapple, and mozzarella over the sauce.
  • Roll the pizza, starting at the short end with the sauce right to the edge. Use the edge without sauce to seal the roll, pinching the dough together if necessary.
  • Cut the pizza roll into 8 equal pieces and place them on a non-stick or parchment paper-lined pan.

Baking

  • Bake for 20 minutes, until the pizza dough is cooked through.
  • Sprinkle the top with some minced chives if using.

Notes

Pizza pinwheels can be served warm as a snack or appetizer, ideal for dipping in extra pizza sauce or ranch dressing. They last 3-4 days in the refrigerator or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
