Bacon Cheddar Pinwheels

I was looking for a quick-and-simple meal idea when I came across this recipe for pinwheels. Lucky me, I had everything i needed to make them on-hand.

Keyword bacon, cheese, wraps

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 11 ounce French bread dough you can also use canned or fresh pizza dough
  • 1 cup extra sharp Cheddar cheese shredded
  • 18 slices sandwich meat

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 390 F.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Add the strips of bacon (do not overlap) and place in oven for 15 minutes.
  • Flip bacon and cook another 10-15 minutes or until crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Reduce oven to 350 F.
  • Remove foil from pan (if there's lots of grease you may wish to dab it up first with a paper towel), wad up and dispose.
  • Spray the pan with non-stick spray.
  • Open the can of dough and unroll. Use a rolling pin if needed to smooth it out into a square or rectangle (mine wanted to be a square), but don't let the dough get too thin. If desired, take a pizza wheel and cut off any jagged edges (but only if you're picky like I am).
  • Sprinkle the cheese around the dough, leaving a 1" border around all edges.
  • Add the sandwich meats and cooked bacon.
  • Starting on one edge, roll the dough up into a tight log.
  • Seal the ends and seam by pinching the sides together.
  • Cut a few small slits into the top of the loaf and transfer to the baking sheet, seam-side down. I used two large spatulas, gently sliding them under the log, to transfer the dough without problem.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing as thin or thick as desired.

Notes

You can use any sandwich meat you like or mix it up by using several different meats!
