BOTW- Pizza Pinwheels

So... this is kind of a bread, but also so much more. I love meals like that. Bread with built in sauce and cheese, not much could be better.

Pizza Pinwheels
(you can exchange for your favorite pizza dough but here is one of mine)

2 1/2 c flour
1 1/2 t instant yeast
1/2 t salt
1 c water
2 T oil

tomato sauce
finely chopped veggies (i added these to the tomato sauce and cooked them)
mozzarella cheese
1 egg
breadcrumbs

1. Mix first 5 ingredients, using as little flour as possible. This is a good time to have a more wet pizza dough. Knead for a few minutes.
2. Let rise covered in a greased bowl for about an hour.
3. Roll out into a rectangle 1/4-1/3 inch thick and place on parchment.
4. Add sauce, toppings and cheese all over
5. Roll the long end into a pinwheel and seal the edge.
6. Flip over so seam is along the bottom.
7. Rub egg wash over the top and add cheese or breadcrumbs to make it look extra yummy.
7. Bake at 475 degrees for 10-15 minutes until the top is brown.
9. Let sit out of oven for a few minutes and then cut into 1 inch slices. Serve with extra sauce.

ps. .. although I haven't officially started the "children posts" this would make an excellent kid friendly food. Tomorrow look forward to some grilling tips and my "kid friendly" menu for next week. My plan is to be trying out recipes for the next few days and giving feedback on the actual reactions, so it should be good. Let the babysitting begin!
