Notes
FAQs & Tips to make the best Pizza Pinwheels
Can I use store-bought pizza sauce ? Absolutely. We love my homemade arrabiata here as a base, so used it. Can I stuff this with any protein ? Absolutely, any protein (including cheese) can be used, make sure to dice/shred it fine to allow easy rolling. What can I use in place of bread flour ? To make a bread flour substitute using all-purpose flour (APF), simply add vital wheat gluten to increase the protein content. Measure 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Remove 1 ½ teaspoons of the flour. Replace it with 1 ½ teaspoons of vital wheat gluten. Whisk or sift together to combine evenly.This mimics the higher protein content of bread flour (usually 12–14% protein), which helps with better gluten development and chew in yeast breads. Can I make the dough ahead of time? Yes, you can make it and refrigerate it. Make sure to bring it to room temperature (along with the rest of the ingredients) before baking. Can I use frozen / homemade puff pastry to make these rolls ? Yes, you can. Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
