CHEESY HERB PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Grease cookie sheet. Mix Bisquick, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and water until dough forms. Turn dough onto surface dusted with Bisquick; gently roll in Bisquick to coat. Knead 10 times.

SPINACH PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Split crescent dough in half along center perforation. Flatten one rectangle, sealing perforations. Spread with 1/4 of the cheese spread and sprinkle with spinach. Starting with long side, roll dough up, rolling back and forth several times to seal edges. Cut into 3/4 inch slices (about 15 slices per roll). Arrange the slices one inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Continue making the crescent roll ups until all of the ingredients are used.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned. Serve immediately or keep warm on a warming tray.

GARLIC BREAD PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Unroll the crescent sheet on a clean cutting board.
• Mix together the mozzarella, butter, Parmesan, pesto and garlic in small bowl or pitcher until mixed well. Reserve two tablespoons of the mixture and set aside. Spoon the remaining garlic-butter mixture over the crescent dough sheet, spreading to the edges. Starting with one of the long sides, roll the dough tightly, as if you were rolling cinnamon roll dough. Pinch closed and place seam-side down.
• Slice the dough into 12 even pieces and transfer them to the lined sheet pan, spacing them evenly. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the remaining garlic butter on top of each roll. Bake until golden, about 12 minutes.
• Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then serve.

GARLIC-HERB PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, combine herbs, garlic, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. On a lightly floured work surface, unfold puff pastry. Spread pastry with herb mixture and roll up. With a sharp knife, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Arrange rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until puffed and golden on edges, 15 minutes. Let cool on sheet on a wire rack, 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container, up to 3 days.

FANCY PINWHEEL SANDWICHES

Steps:

• You will be making two different types of pinwheels: Roast Beef with Cheddar and cucumber in a tomato wrap and Turkey with bacon and garlic herb cheese in a spinach wrap.
• Wash head of lettuce and dry thoroughly.
• Slice off the ends of the cucumber and remove the skin.
• Cut in half lenghtwise and each half again and scoop out seeds with a spoon.
• Slice each quarter into thin, wedgeshaped strips.
• Place a tomato wrap on a cutting board and cover the surface of it with a thin layer of the cheddar horseraddish cheese spread, making sure to go to the edges. This is very important as the cheese spread holds everything together.
• Leaving the top 2" of the wrap uncovered, lay 2 lettuce leaves on the cheese and press gently. You will need the layer of just cheese to "stick" the wrap together after rolling.
• Lay 2 slices of Roast Beef on top of the lettuce.
• Place about 3 wedges of cucumber crosswise on each slice of Roast Beef bringing the ends together in the middle.
• Starting from the bottom, roll the wrap upward, firmly but gently as not to tear it, finishing at the layer of cheese.
• Cover the pinwheel with a piece of plastice wrap , twisting the ends to secure.
• Repeat for the 4 remaining wraps.
• You use the same preparation process for the Turkey and Garlic Herb Pinwheels using the Spinach wraps, garlic and herb cheese spread, Smoked Turkey and the lettuce leaves. Omit the cucumber and add 3 bacon strips placed crosswise over the turkey. Roll and cover with plastic wrap.
• Place wrapped pinwheels in the refrigerator for several hours to overnight to allow cheese to firm back up. You want them cold and firm when you slice them.
• After chilling, remove plastic wrap and place pinwheel on a cutting board. Using a thin, sharp serated knife slice off the end and then continue cutting slices down every 1/2" until you reach the other end. Neither of the end pieces will be nice enough for presentation but that doesn't mean the cook can't enjoy them!
• You will have 50 slices of each kind of pinwheel when you are finished.
