- Slice your cooked bacon into bite sized pieces, then set it aside with the pepperoni for now.
- Now it’s time to make our cheese blend, for every 1C. of mozzarella add 1Tbsp. grated parmesan.
- Mix your cheese thoroughly then set it aside until ready to use.
- Spread your pizza dough into a large rectangular shape.
- The goal is for it to be roughly 1” thick throughout.
- Lay down a light layer of pizza sauce across the entire surface of the dough, followed by a layer of cheese.
- Now layer bacon and pepperoni on top of that, feel free to add a little extra cheese on top of the meat if you please.
- Next, starting from the bottom, roll your pizza dough.
- When finished you should have a long tube of rolled dough and toppings.
- Starting from one end, begin slicing 2” pieces off the pizza tube.
- Keep going until you’ve finished the entire thing, laying the pinwheels flat as you cut them.
- Set your Pie-Ro Pizza Oven to 500 degrees.
- Place your pinwheels on your pizza pan with enough space for them to expand without touching each other.
- Grate a small amount of Pecorino Romano cheese over the top of each pinwheel.
- Place your pizza pan with your pinwheels on it into the Pie-Ro Pizza Oven.
- Allow the pinwheels to roast in the oven, keeping an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn.
- After you notice cheese begin to bubble out and brown on the top, and the sides have also browned, the pinwheels are ready to remove. It can take anywhere from 5-12 minutes depending on the thickness of your pinwheels.
- Allow the pizza pinwheels to cool briefly, then serve and enjoy!
