Ingredients and substitutions

• Crescent roll: you can also use a can of crescent dough sheet or frozen store-bought pizza dough.
• Shredded cheese: I used shredded mozzarella but you can use any cheese you love.
• Toppings: I used salami in the recipe, but you can substitute it for pepperoni, chorizo, or any kind of cold-cut meat.
• Vegetable Oil: Only a small amount was used to brush the dough. If you prefer, you can substitute it for melted unsalted butter.
• Parsley: chopped parsley is used as a garnish. You can skip this or substitute parsley for basil.

• First, roll the crescent rolls into a sheet. Keep everything intact.
• Lightly brush the dough sheet with vegetable oil.
• Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella, then top evenly with slices of salami. Remember to leave half an inch from the long edges uncovered.
• Starting with either long edge, roll up the dough. Pinch the seam to seal. Cut into 12 pieces of pinwheels, each approximately 1.5 inches thick.
• Place each pinwheel at least 1 inch apart on a parchment paper-lined half-sheet pan, cut side up.
• Bake these pizza pinwheels until the outer crust is golden and crisp, approximately 10-12 minutes at 350F.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
