Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a 6 hole muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.
Roll out your refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangle. Using a brush, coat dough in melted garlic butter.
Top with slices of ham and shredded or sliced cheese, starting at a corner. Lay slices of ham and cheese until the dough is totally covered.
Starting at the narrow end, roll the dough up as tightly as possible.
Slice roll 5 times so you have 6 pieces, between 1 ½ and 2 inches thick.
Place your slices in your prepared muffin pan and brush remaining melted butter across the top of each pinwheel.
Bake, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until a golden brown color. Serve and enjoy! These are delicious as a snack or a small meal or even dipped in over easy egg yolks!

Notes

Use a sharp knife: Ensure the blade is sharp enough to make clean and even slices. This will also prevent squishing them while cutting.

Layer the ingredients evenly: Ensure the ham and cheese are layered evenly so each pinwheel has the same amount of filling.

Use room temperature dough: Cold dough is harder to roll and rips easier. Let it sit out for 30 minutes before you make the pinwheels.
