Cheeseburger Pizza Pinwheels

mayonnaise

ketchup

brown mustard

1 (14 to 16 ounce) ball

beef

onion

Kosher salt and pepper (to taste)

red pepper flakes ((optional))

mozzarella

cheddar

tomatoes

pickles

preheat the oven and make the sauce

Preheat the oven to 425°F.  Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.  In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, ketchup, and mustard.  Separate half of the sauce into a bowl for dipping.

brown the meat and onions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the ground beef and cook, stirring to break it up, for about 3 minutes until it starts to brown.  Add the onions, season everything with salt and pepper, the red pepper flakes if using, and continue to cooking, stirring frequently, until the meat is completely browned and the onions are fairly tender.  Drain the meat and onions in a colander.

assemble the pizza

Roll or press the pizza dough onto a baking sheet, making a rectangle about 9 x 14 inches, about 1/3 inch thick.  Spread the remaining half of sauce (not the sauce for dipping) on the pizza dough rectangle, leaving a 1/4-inch border around each edge.  Sprinkle half of each cheese evenly over the pizza, also keeping the border.  Distribute the beef, tomatoes and pickles over the cheese.  Top everything with the rest of the cheeses.  Press down lightly so that everything adheres to the dough.

roll up the pizza

Carefully, slowly roll the pizza up the long way (meaning from one long side to the other).  Cut the roll into about eight 1 1/2-inch slices.  Separate the slices and place them cut sides down at least 2 inches apart on the parchment.

bake and serve hot

Bake the pizza for about 16 to 20 minutes, until the crust is lightly browned around the edges, and the spirals are cooked through.    Serve hot, with the remaining dipping sauce on the side.

Pizza Pinwheels

(13-ounce) tube refrigerated pizza dough

(14-ounce) jar prepared pizza sauce, divided

Italian seasoning

mozzarella cheese, (shredded)

Parmesan

pepperoni, (chopped)

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Lightly flour work surface and a rolling pin. Roll pizza crust into a 12x16 inch rectangle.

Spread 3/4 cup pizza sauce over pizza crust, leaving a 1-inch border on both sides and top edge. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning evenly over the sauce.

Sprinkle mozzarella (2 cups) and Parmesan cheese (1/3 cup) evenly over sauce.

Sprinkle chopped pepperoni (3/4 cup) over cheese.

Begin rolling tightly upward, away from you, starting at the long side of the crust closest to you.

Cut the roll into 12 individual pieces, using a serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion.

Arrange the cut rolls evenly, in 3 rows, 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of Parmesan on top of each roll.

Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until dough is golden.

Pour the remaining pizza sauce into a microwave-safe dish and warm through. Arrange pizza pinwheels onto a serving platter and serve with warmed pizza sauce.
