Pizza Pinwheels : A mouthwatering Appetizer

Hi Guys !

Pizza Pinwheels are a great appetizer for any occasion, be it a birthday party, kitty party or cocktail party. They taste the best when served warm. Very easy to prepare and are gone before you know.
This dish is sure to call for not only a 'once more' but 'many more' !

I made them last night and the aroma of it filled not only my home but the whole floor right upto the elevators. So, lets get started with this delicious appetizer !



Gather your Equipment:

A Rolling Pin
A Rolling Board ( I used the chopping board )
A sharp Knife
A baking Tray
A mixing Bowl
A Shredder
A Spatula

Ingredients:

1 Crescent Roll (I used the Pillsbury brand)
Or You can make Pizza Dough
1 Cup of shredded Paneer
1 1/2 Cups of assorted vegetables finely chopped ( I used Red, Yellow & Green Bell Peppers and Onions)
2 Teaspoons of Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon of Tomato Ketchup
1 Teaspoon of Red Chilli Sauce
Salt to Taste

Preparing to start:

Let the Crescent Roll be refrigerated until final use. Spray the baking tray with cooking spray or grease with oil. Gather your other ingredients.


Method:

1. Mix the shredded Paneer, chopped Vegetables, all the Sauces and Salt. Keep this aside.

2. Open the Crescent roll and lay it over the Rolling Board or on a clean surface. Join the perforations on the roll and with a light hand use a rolling pin to make the dough even. Remember, you don't have to roll it but just make it even.

3. Spread the Paneer mixture evenly on the roll leaving the sides.

4. Start rolling to form a cylinder.

5. The dough would have got a little sticky by now and difficult to work with. Put the roll in the freezer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes just flip the roll and freeze for another 10 minutes for even texture.



6. In the meanwhile, preheat the oven on 350-400 degrees Fahrenheit .

7. Remove one roll at a time from the freezer (i.e., if you have more than one) and lay it on the board, away from the oven and cut into wheels of a about a quarter inch width. Lay the rolls on on the prepared baking tray.

8. Bake for about 18-20 minutes and you will see them turning golden brown. Do keep an eye on them. If you like the texture to be crispier you can increase the temperature for last 2 minutes and then shut the oven completely. Let them sit in the oven for another 2 minutes and then remove. Let them cool.



9. Remove with the help of a Spatula and serve them warm to your loved ones.


I hope, you would be soon making these mouthwatering Pinwheels and do not forget to share with your friends and family... beacause food tastes delicious only when shared !

Love
