Ingredients
  

  • 1 recipe Mozzarella Pastry Dough
  • 12 slices crispy cooked bacon, chopped
  • 8 ounces (225 g / 7.9 oz) sharp or extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 ounces (110 g / 3.9 oz) Parmesan cheese, grated
  • For perfectly clean cuts, chill the rolled log in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before slicing. This helps the pinwheels hold their shape.
  • If the mozzarella dough is sticky, roll it between two sheets of parchment paper. This prevents sticking without needing excess almond flour, which can make the pastry dry.
  • For extra crispy pinwheels, flip them halfway through the baking time to ensure both sides get golden brown.

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F / 177°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Prepare the Mozzarella Pastry Dough according to the recipe . On a clean work surface, roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper into a large rectangle, about ¼ inch / 6 mm thick. 3. Evenly sprinkle the chopped bacon and shredded cheddar over the surface of the dough. 4. Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll the dough into a long log or cylinder. 5.
  2. Slice the log into 22 round pinwheels and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. 6.
  3. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each pinwheel. 7.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve immediately for the best texture. 8. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F / 177°C oven for 5-8 minutes to restore crispiness.
  6. Don't be afraid to customize!
  7. Add finely chopped chives, jalapeños, or a sprinkle of ranch seasoning to the filling for an extra flavor boost.
