Pizza Pinwheels – Kid Friendly
Adapted from: Super Healthy Kids
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup flour whole wheat or white whole wheat
- 1 cup flour all purpose
- 2 ¼ Teaspoon yeast active dry
- 1 ½ Teaspoon sugar
- ¾ Teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup water warmed
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ cup mozzarella cheese
Sauce
- ¼ cup spinach or kale
- ½ medium bell pepper yellow, red or orange
- ¼ cup mushrooms sliced into pieces
- ½ medium onion diced
- 1 medium carrots diced
- 1 medium zucchini diced
- 1 cup spaghetti or marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl
- Whisk together the warm water and the oil and add to the dry ingredients. Mix until well blended,
- about 1 minute.
- Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
- Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky.
- Knead on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4
- minutes.
- Place the dough in a large, lightly greased bowl, and drape a moist kitchen towel over the bowl, but do not wrap the dough.
- Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes in a slightly warmed oven. The dough will almost double in size.
- Chop the vegetables (you will need to have a total of 2 cups).
- Sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes or until slightly tender.
- Blend in a high-powered blender with the marinara sauce (or keep the veggies whole **).
- Once the dough has risen, remove it from the bowl and place on a lightly floured work surface.
- Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a ½ inch thick rectangle, about 12 by 10 inches.
- Spread the blended sauce (or sauce and cut up veggies) over the dough, leaving a ½ inch border
- around the edges. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Begin rolling the dough until you have one large roll (looks like a Stromboli).
- Slice into 8-12 slices and place each slice into a grease muffin pan.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the pinwheels are golden brown and cooked through in the middle.
