Materials

For the Dough:

  • - 1 tea glass of warm milk 100 ml
  • - 1 tea glass of warm water 100 ml
  • - Half a tea glass of vegetable oil 50 ml
  • - 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar 20 grams
  • - 1 tablespoon of dry yeast 10 grams
  • - 4 cups of flour 480 grams
  • - 1 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

  • - 1 cup grated cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix
  • - 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • - 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • - 1/2 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
  • - 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • - 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • - 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes optional
  • - Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

  • - In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, warm water, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is activated and bubbly.
  • - Add flour and salt to the mixture gradually, mixing with a spoon or hand until a dough forms.
  • - Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • - Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Prepare the Filling:

  • - In a bowl, combine grated cheese, chopped red, green, and yellow bell peppers, onions, green onions, and tomatoes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Pinwheels:

  • - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • - Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick).
  • - Evenly spread the filling mixture over the rolled-out dough.
  • - Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, similar to how you would roll cinnamon rolls.
  • - Slice the log into 1-inch thick pieces and place them cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake the Pinwheels:

  • - Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pinwheels are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • - Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
