Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough ½ recipe basic pizza dough
- ⅓ cup marinara sauce (plus more for dipping)
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ½ to ⅔ cup shredded mozzarella
- 24 to 30 thinly sliced pepperoni
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan
- ½ cup yellow cornmeal (medium grind)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to about ⅛ inch thick. (try to get the dough to 9”x12” (or larger if needed)).
- Spread marinara sauce sparingly over dough and top with oregano and garlic.
- Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over sauce and finish by topping the dough with the pepperoni. (I like to slightly overlap the pepperoni over one another).
- Starting at one end, carefully roll dough into a large, tight log and place onto a cutting board, seam side down.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Remove from refrigerator and cut 1”-1 ½” pinwheels from the log.
- Dredge one cut side of each pinwheel in the cornmeal until well coated and place (cornmeal side down) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or using a little bit of cooking spray.
- Sprinkle top of each wheel with a small amount of Parmesan and bake for 16-20 minutes or until golden brown. (in the last 5-7 minutes check the bottoms to make sure they’re not burning).
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes and serve with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
