Roll out dough from pop can and stretch into rectangle. Sprinkle with garlic salt, basil, cheeses and pepperoni. Starting at the short end, roll dough into a log. Slice into 1” pieces. Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until browned on top. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Patti’s Notes: Okay, I confess, I didn’t measure anything and I didn’t chop the pepperoni. I do however, put the pepperoni on a paper towel and put it in the microwave for about 10 seconds to drain out some of the fat. I also used the Thin Crust version of the pizza crust and I used my pizza stone. I left them on the pizza stone for serving so they would stay hot. I had some two ounce plastic cups so after I heated the marinara sauce I put a little scoop of sauce in the cups. That way people could put the sauce cup on their plate and use it for dipping instead of the sauce running all over the plate.

Tip of the Day: After rolling everything into a log, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for about 10 minutes. It will make it easier to cut. Also, use a serrated knife. If not everything will squish together and you’ll end up with pizza blobs instead of pizza pinwheels. It would still be tasty but not very pretty! ;-)

Easy Meter: Yes.

Health-o-Meter: Let’s be honest, pizza isn’t the healthiest thing in the world but it’s not the worse either. You could make a veggie version or substitute other toppings but don’t put the sauce in the mix. From what I’ve heard it makes a big gooey mess. Use it on the side for dipping.
