Sourdough Pepperoni Pinwheels

Can I interest you in a warm, soft, cheese and pepperoni-filled sourdough pinwheel? I thought so. Serve a little marinara on the side and you’ve got yourself some pizza pinwheel love!

Let’s get started…

Start by gathering all your ingredients. In my case, that would include a friend who brought her very own homemade sourdough starter, all the way from her Ohio kitchen.

Everyone, please say “Hi” to Chris!

Here we are adding Chris’ amazing sourdough starter to the mixing bowl. It’s fun to see the carbon dioxide bubbles rise to the surface of the water. Oh how I wish you could have smelled that yeasty sourdough starter!

Next we mixed the dough in a stand mixer (Chris reports the dough cycle on her bread machine works as well).

Place the dough in a well oiled bowl and cover bowl with plastic wrap.

Next we allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free spot - we used my nifty bread proofing box.

Goodbye bread dough - see you after your cozy 45-minute power nap!

85F was the perfect temperature.

Ooooh, look how lovely the dough is after 45 minutes.

Note: the amount of dough you see in the bowl is a quadruple batch of the printed recipe below.

On an oiled counter top, press the dough into a rectangular shape. Add the shredded mozzarella cheese and sliced pepperoni (leave about an inch along the top long edge of the rectangle free of fillings).

Starting at the bottom long edge of the rectangle, start rolling all the way to the top.

Pinch the seam closed with your fingertips. Use a serrated knife to cut the long roll in half, then in half again. You should now have 4 sections that should be cut into 3 equal pieces for a total of 12 pinwheels.

Place the pinwheels on a silpat-lined half sheet pan and cover with a clean kitchen towel to allow the pinwheels to rise for 20-30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350F.

Remove the tea towel and brush pinwheels with egg wash and sprinkle with pretzel salt or flaked sea salt. Bake in center of preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they’re golden brown. Allow to cool on

Allow pinwheels to rest for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool. Serve warm with a side of marinara for dipping, if desired.
